Announcing Bio-Entrepreneurship Speaker Series:
We want to make sure you see this, and we want to make sure you know that if you are curious about turning basic science into biotech companies then this might be for you…
Ever feel like there's no handbook for launching a biotech company? That's because there isn't! But we've got the next best thing for you. The Postdoctoral Training Office, the Irell and Manella Graduate School, and the Office of Technology Licensing are combining forces to bring you the Bio-Entrepreneurship Speaker Series!
That’s right! We're hosting a bio-entrepreneurship speaker series right here at City of Hope. This is your chance to meet innovators and professionals from the startup world—people you'd probably have a hard time connecting with otherwise. They're ready to share their hard-won knowledge and real-life stories you just can't find in any book or online.
- Learn from the pros: Hear firsthand about the challenges and triumphs of clinical translation and commercialization.
- Exclusive networking: Rub elbows with industry pros and fellow scientists in a relaxed, informal setting.

Whether you are a faculty (Clinical or BRI), a postdoctoral fellow, a clinical fellow, a grad student, in tech transfer, or just really interested in biotechnology and translating discovery into care this is a golden opportunity to gain insights that only come from lived experiences.
Don't miss out on stories and advice you won't get anywhere else—and maybe spark some ideas for your own biotech journey!
