This Fall 2019 semester, 20.930/7.930: Research Experience in Biopharma will run for the 5th time. We pair graduate students with industry mentors to conduct research on-site at a local biotech or pharma company. Students work at the company 10 hours/week and attend weekly lectures covering topics of science and business in the biotech/pharma industry.
Recent host companies have included Novartis, Pfizer, Amgen, Merrimack, and Vertex. Feedback from past students and mentors has been overwhelmingly positive.
This course will be offered ONLY in the fall semester.
