A snapshot of jobs in the biosciences industry suggests that business training may be worth
in Business School for Scientists
Naturejobs, Aug. 29, 2007 Since the rise of biotechnology in the 1970s, the worlds of bioscience and business have drawn ever closer together. But for jobseekers interested in the biosciences industry, how much of an asset is business training? It may offer some advantages. The pharmaceutical industry, for example, is suffering serious job losses (see Nature 448, 965; 2007), but there still are jobs available, and business training is one way to get a leg up. The extent to which that training translates into broadened opportunities is hard to quantify. The Keck Graduate Institute in Claremont, California, which specializes in bioscience degrees that incorporate business skills, has released a report that assesses the situation (see http://www.kgi.edu/x6503.xml).
