The "High Content Screening for Therapeutics Discovery" is a newly created course that provides a learning platform for those interested or working in the fields of chemical biology to interact and learn the best practices in setting up cell based assays using automated microscopy leading to the discovery of novel drugs. This course is open to a broader audience, from newcomers to seasoned research scientists familiar with the technology who are highly interested in unbiased approaches towards developing cell-based assays, automated microscopy, performing small focused to large scale drug screens.

Today, in life sciences, entrepreneurship requires rationalization of business development attitudes and entrepreneurial initiative. For life scientists aiming to translate the results of their work to the benefit of global health it is more than ever important to have business acumen. The Business of Managing Science (BMS) course aims to equip scientists with business development insight to help them better engage as entrepreneurs applying business principles to achieve desirable outcomes. We hope the students of this course will innovate new business opportunities consistent to a longer-term rationale aimed at benefiting global health’s most prescient challenges.
