The Houston area is emerging as a center for the life sciences industry. Numerous start-up companies have emerged in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, and telemedicine. This is generating 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.
