Dear friends,

I want to make sure that you and your lab have heard about the outstanding biotech course that ASCB is offering this summer from June 16-27 at Keck Graduate Institute in Claremont, CA. This course will accommodate 40 graduate students and postdocs (from anywhere in the world) who will receive free travel, room & board, and tuition, thanks to a generous gift by the EMD Millipore Corporation.

With leadership from ASCB’s own Ira Mellman, vice president at Genentech, and top instructors from the Keck Graduate Institute, the intensive course will introduce young scientists to the skills and competencies they need to be successful in the biotech industry. The course will include classes on biotech management using case-based studies, scientific problem-solving cases, career-oriented workshops, networking events, and a team-based project.

Click here to view the draft course schedule. Speakers will include some of ASCB’s top scientists in biotech areas.

The deadline to apply is February 15, so please forward this email to anyone who might be interested. We have tried to keep the application process easy; the only stipulation is you must be or become an ASCB member to apply. To apply, and get more information, visit Biotech Course.

Sincerely,
Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz
