Beyond the Lab

The establishment of the “Beyond the Lab” seminar series is in response to the increasing demand for diverse knowledge that is not taught in the classroom or lab yet critical for success in today’s challenging environment. Specifically, the primary goal of this focused seminar series is to provide a venue to students, postdocs and other research professionals in the department and the school to enrich their academic profiles to compete and expand their outlook for career advancement.

Topics covered in this seminar series include drug development and regulatory science / FDA, translational research and clinical trials, intellectual property and patents / USPTO, scientific writing, public speaking, grantsmanship, academia versus industry, and career mentorship.
