BioEntrepreneurship: IP in Healthcare Therapeutics and Diagnostics February 6, 2008

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.
