The Houston area has become a national center for the life sciences industry. Numerous start-up companies have emerged in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, and telemedicine. This has generated a demand for leaders with a background in both entrepreneurship and the life sciences. To educate these leaders, Rice University Executive Education, the
Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship, and
BioHouston have collaborated to offer the Life Sciences Entrepreneurial Management Certificate. Participants will learn about market opportunities, intellectual property issues, life science business plans, sources of funding, and the successful launch and management of a life science start-up.
Requirements for completion:
The Life Sciences Entrepreneurial Management Certificate is awarded to individuals who complete all 3 units within an 18-month period. Although we recommend completing the entire program for full benefit, you may complete individual units at a cost of $1,000 per unit. For more information about this option, please contact us at 713-348-6060.
