Overview

Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Mini MBA Training Course is a one-week course for managers, scientists entering leadership, project leaders, and technical specialists who leave with a Life Sciences Business Decision Portfolio. Participants connect biotechnology business models, pharmaceutical strategy, finance, portfolio choices, operations, quality risk, commercialization, market access, partnerships, innovation, and leadership. Agile Leaders Training Center presents biotechnology and pharmaceutical management as a cross-functional business discipline.
