BioEntrepreneurship: Business Models in Therapeutics and Medical Devices December 19, 2007

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.
