I found the Strategic Biomedical Marketing Course, to be very informative and content rich. The podcasts, case studies and toolkit all provided ample learning experiences to get a taste of effective (and not so effective) marketing practices. I feel more confident in assessing my organisation’s value, the client’s needs and perceptions and how to effectively communicate & deliver this value in a meaningful way. Biocom Member: Harrison Shapira | Vice Consul, Life Sciences International Business, Development, Life Sciences, UK’s Department of International Trade (DIT) Enrollment is open now for the Strategic Biomedical Marketing Program and closes January 25th. Don’t miss your opportunity to enroll today! https://ctme.caltech.edu//t/strategic-biomedical-marketing

As we wrap up a challenging year, the Biocom Institute is looking ahead to 2021, and continuing our programming that so positively impacts underserved K-12 students and educators with virtual, fun, engaging life science lessons, and hands-on activity kits delivered directly to students. Not only will we be here in 2021 to give a hand with virtual instruction and to help teachers get through these difficult times, but as one of the industries that’s been at the forefront in th...e fight against COVID, we want to continue to illuminate life science for students. All of our lessons help students better understand the pandemic- from the Power of Soap, to understanding how bacteria grows, to therapeutic and vaccine development. As we wrap up 2020, we ask for your donations and support please, as we look ahead to continuing this outreach, and all of our critical work, into 2021. https://www.classy.org/give/298525/#!/donation/checkout
