UB launches new high-tech program
The University at Buffalo School of Management’s Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership and UB’s New York State Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences recently commenced a new workforce development program, the High-Tech Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership.
The program offers the leaders of early-stage life sciences companies the opportunity to learn from established life sciences entrepreneurs as well as from others who are important to long-term success, such as venture capitalists.
The 10-week program is underway and will meet weekly through December.
Classes include interactive lectures, guest speakers who will share their industry experience, panel discussions and case studies on a variety of topics, including entrepreneurship challenges, intellectual property, licensing and regulatory issues, sales and marketing and financing.
The New York State Department of Labor through the Buffalo and Erie County Workforce Investment Board, Inc. funds the high-tech CEL program.
Representatives from 12 life sciences companies are enrolled in the inaugural class. Representatives include John Aletta of CH3 BioSystems, Jeff Harvey of Rose Pharmaceuticals, Mary McCourt of MMC Lipid Bioservices, Thomas Sass of NanoAxis, Sarah Ambrus of BOSS Translational Medicine, Michael Green of TheraSyn DM, Brian Egan of Advantage Home Telehealth, Michael Pyszczek of Balan Biomedical, John Lordi of Buffalo BioBlower Technologies, Mark Wagner of Sensorcon, Michael Zwick of AndroBioSys and Jeffrey Dann of Sleep Insights Management Services.
“Our goal is to help these organizations build strong management teams and to provide them with the information they need to develop their pathways to commercialization,” said Thomas Ulbrich, executive director of the UB School of Management’s Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership.
“This program is a natural collaboration for building the new economy in our region, where high-tech businesses in sectors like the life sciences really benefit from the expertise of both the center of excellence and the UB School of Management,” said Marnie LaVigne, director of business development for the center of excellence and the UB Center for Advanced Biomedical and Bioengineering Technology.
