PRINCIPLES OF BIOTECHNOLOGY

ABT 715

Application of biological and chemical methods to modern biotechnological product development. Overview of analysis techniques used to characterize products and evaluate quality and safety. Exploration of technological pipeline from conception to market, including proof-of-concept assessment, pre-clinical trials, clinical trials, and post-production testing.

BIOMDSCI 831

Investigate state-of-the-art topics of global importance to biotechnology. Integrated skills and knowledge to achieve synergistic levels of understanding the importance of biotechnology today. Formulate the scientific, ethical, and regulatory standards used in the development of novel technologies around the globe. Increase awareness for intellectual collaboration and entrepreneurship opportunities.

ABT 750

Examines marketing case studies in diverse areas of biotechnology. Addresses marketing fundamentals and strategies, communicating value proposition strategy, ethical and regulatory concerns, startup strategies, pharmaceutical marketing, b2b marketing, salesforce development, branding, and promotion. Culminates with the creation of a marketing plan/analysis.

ABT 710

Application and analysis of professional scientific communication, both written and oral. Focuses on designing documents that convey complex, data-rich technical and scientific content to audiences with diverse information needs using a variety of professional genres, including reports, proposals, presentations, and documentation.

ABT 765

A survey of biotechnology assessments in areas such as regenerative medicine, agricultural biotechnology, and bioremediation. Course links disciplines with the critical evaluative role played by scientific discovery, market valuation, intellectual property, freedom-to-operate (FTO), and licensing strategy by assessing the role each played in the commercialization of a specific technology.
