Advances in Biotechnology

From personalized medicine, disease detection and treatment, and other cutting-edge medical advances, biotechnology is revolutionizing both the study and application of healthcare and neuroscience. This broad area of biology involves studying living systems and organisms to develop technologies and products that help improve lives and the health of humanity.

In this engaging course, you will learn from Stanford faculty, other faculty from around the world, and important industry leaders as they share their expertise and experience on a range of topics related to biotechnology. Each one-hour talk will include background about the subject area and in-depth information about cutting-edge research and/or personal case studies.

If you are interested in a career in biotechnology, this course will open your eyes to a wide range of applications. This course is also a great way to "get current" on the latest academic and industrial advances in biomedical science and technology, and examine case studies.
