The Biology Of Biotech

The Biology of Biotech provides an overview of biotechnology’s most important biological molecules and systems to make novel therapies and diagnostics. This online course lays the groundwork for understanding the biopharma industry by focusing on cells, DNA, and proteins and how these are manipulated by researchers to develop new health care products. This class is the perfect place to start if you are a non-scientist who wants to understand the science driving research and discovery.

Section 1 The CelL: The Biotech Advantage

Demonstrates how biotechnology takes advantage of processes that already exist in the human body to create new products.

Section 2: DNA & Proteins: The Biotech Workhorse

Correlates the relationship between DNA and proteins, and how the cellular process of protein synthesis is used to create medicines.

Section 3: Genetic Variation: Understanding Disease

Explains how mutations lead to genetic variation which sometimes triggers disease. Knowledge of genetic variation is the first step to improving disease diagnosis and treatment.

"Absolutely Terrific"

Biotech Primer gave me the opportunity to sit in during their recent Boston BioBasics workshop. It was absolutely terrific. It was professional, extremely well organized, and covered astonishing amounts of information in just two days. Dr. Karin Lucas presented the entire time, with enthusiasm and openness the whole way through. The attendees were very comfortable with her, asking questions at any time, not worried about their own lack of background. She handled all of these with a terrific, gentle style making them feel smart and informed.

"Will Recommend"

I was astonished by how good this course was – how refined and on-point the materials were and how well calibrated the delivery was. I sat next to 2 investment bankers and one MD/MBA CEO of a publically traded company and all felt the course relevant enough to (1) stop staring at their iphones and (2) show their own vulnerability by asking questions. The instructor, Emily, was great at handling questions that had the potential to pull us into the weeds. So impressed with how well organized the whole class was. Will recommend to all my colleagues.

"Love Your Services"

I love getting your newsletters about what’s happening in the pharma world. I forward them to my teams and we have you in the back of our minds when we plan different summits.
