The BioEntrepreneurship series is designed to be complementary to MaRS Entrepreneurship 101, which maps out the general steps related to launching a technology-based business.
These BioEntrepreneurship seminars aim to give insight specifically into the bio-industry and the elements necessary to effectively commercialize life sciences research (therapeutics, devices, diagnostics). Each lecture is taught by active industry professionals and is followed by an extensive Q&A session. Participants are encouraged to use the interactive segment of each seminar to discuss their specific projects.
----
The life science industry over the past two decades has created, it seems, just as many business models as it has new products. Join MaRS' staff for a discussion on some the business structures that get therapeutics and medical devices/diagnostics to the market today... You will learn the pros and cons as well as gain some insight as to what the ever-important VCs tend to think.
