“The feedback is unanimous that the program was very beneficial. The multi-discipline approach of the program has helped the attendees better understand corporate dynamics that shape the work they contribute to. There is also an enhanced understanding of how departments with seemingly distinct functions integrate to achieve the common goal. The attendees found the case-study approach very engaging and can now apply the increased understanding of the drug development process in furthering their contribution and careers at Forest.”

“As a scientist who moved to the business environment, I see a critical need for programs like these which introduce graduate students and post-docs to the business of biotechnology. Employing an alumnus of the program as an intern was a very rewarding experience for us. The Ruth Group provides strategic investor and public relations services to biotech, pharmaceutical, and healthcare organizations. We found that the intern had a deeper knowledge of the industry which is usually lacking from persons with a basic science education. He was able to integrate well into our team and engage effectively in activities including messaging, writing of both business and scientific documents and outreach to investors and financial media.”
