A two day course to ride the waves of the healthcare revolution with confidence.
Would you be interested in a fun ands intensive course that will make you…
… literate in medical biology, molecular diagnostics and biotechnology,
… understand the sciences that drive the healthcare revolution,
… ready to engage in any multidisciplinary scientific discussion about health? If the answer is yes, read on…
First offered in 2007, this course acts as a “driving school”, enabling any non-biologist – scientist or non-scientist – to better navigate the worlds of biology, biotech, pharma, diagnostics, clinical sciences and prevention.
Leveraging on our 12 year-long experience in transdisciplinary life science education aimed at busy professionals, this small group course provides a “toolbox” with all the essential science concepts and a springboard to explore with confidence the scientific foundations of the future of medicine.
It defines with simplicity all the essential notions in biology, pharmacology, biotech and molecular diagnostics.
It makes the invisible world of disease mechanisms, drug modes of actions, molecular diagnostics and biomedical research visible and understandable!
All professionals – scientists and non-scientists – that have a need or interest to understand the sciences that support therapeutic and diagnostic products, technologies, research and business strategies.
