Master in Biotechnology Management
Master listfaacademic
“We have identified that there is a consensus in the biotechnology sector, and among the analysts worldwide, that one of the main issues in developing the biotech sector as a global industry, is the requirement for new talent management. The levels of complexity and uncertainty are always increasing in this sector and this really calls for a crucial ability to manage interdisciplinary group teams and people from different backgrounds, putting them all together into a functional group able to manage these complex business units. I believe a master like this can really prepare professionals for bridging the world of the complex science, and its technical and regulatory aspects, with the business’ world.”
