For the sixth year in a row, Denise Dunlap, Associate Professor of the Manning School of Business, has been leading the interdisciplinary, weeklong Biotech East summer training course for doctoral and post-doctoral scientists interested in discovering the business side of science. The weeklong course will run from June 3-7, 2024. The program continues to be successful – 75% of attendees now have found jobs in industry, regulatory affairs or tech transfer.

There are a few spaces available for those that are interested in registering for the Biotech2024. The application deadline is May 31, 2024. This year’s distinguished keynote speaker is Robert Langer, the David H. Koch Institute Professor at MIT on June 3, 2024.

Biotech2024 aims to help participants learn about career paths for scientists in industry, how to leverage their analytical Ph.D. skill set for a professional career, make connections with industry guests and like-minded course participants, and learn interdisciplinary teamwork through a team pitch project. It is made possible because of the Manning School of Business’ partnerships with the Keck Graduate Institute and the American Society for Cell Biology. The program receives sponsorship support from the Center for Advancing Point of Care Technologies (a collaboration between UMass Lowell and UMass Chan Medical School) and Biogen.
