About the Programs
Technology plays a vital role in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Advances in robotics, in silico simulation, high-throughput synthesis and screening, genomics, and information technology, to name a few, present tremendous opportunities and challenges. In addition, most pharmaceutical companies engage in numerous strategic alliances and partnerships, which now almost always involve the sharing and management of advanced technologies as well as complex intellectual property issues. Scientists, clinicians and other business people are increasingly called upon to manage complex technological environments or to deal extensively with those who do.
This program is targeted broadly at professionals across the whole of the pharmaceutical industry whose jobs require that they manage functions that use technology extensively. This encompasses most of the functional areas in todays pharmaceutical companies and includes areas such as discovery research, clinical research and operations, regulatory affairs (especially those areas involved in the compilation and publication of submissions), market research and QA. Individuals in contract research organizations (CROs), contract laboratories, consulting firms and other businesses that supply services to the pharmaceutical industry will also find the program of interest.
