The industrial and entrepreneurship modules supplemented the scientific program with the aim of introducing the students to the life-sciences / biotechnology economy. The Innovation and Entrepreneurship module was designed to educate science students on the translation of scientific discoveries from the lab to the marketplace through the founding of a start-up venture. Students also participated in the From Bench to Bedside module which led students through the initial stages of research and development at a pharmaceutical company to the launch and marketing of medicines in Canada.
