"To be competitive in industry, biosciences graduates must understand the intricate process of translating basic research into innovative, market driven products. Further, these graduates must be able to navigate the complex pathways of intellectual property management and the regulatory affairs of agencies such as the FDA. There is a critical need for programs that encourage life sciences students to integrate industry-relevant training and experience with their basic science education."
