16-27 June 2014, Keck Graduate Institute in Claremont, CA, USA

Dear ABCD member,

I want to make sure that you and your lab have heard about the outstanding biotech course that ASCB is offering this summer from June 16-27 at Keck Graduate Institute in Claremont, CA. This course will accommodate 40 graduate students and postdocs (from anywhere in the world) who will receive free travel, room & board, and tuition, thanks to a generous gift by the EMD Millipore Corporation.

With leadership from ASCB’s own Ira Mellman, vice president at Genentech, and top instructors from the Keck Graduate Institute, the intensive course will introduce young scientists to the skills and competencies they need to be successful in the biotech industry. The course will include classes on biotech management using case-based studies, scientific problem-solving cases, career-oriented workshops, networking events, and a team-based project.
