Innovation Bioscience Initiative:
Innovation Bioscience is a training and incubation initiative focused on bridging the gap between biomedical research and healthcare need. The Deep Dives in Entrepreneurship series provides an opportunity to highlight upcoming training opportunities as well as learn from and connect with the vibrant start-up community of Greater Boston.


This session of Deep Dives in Entrepreneurship will focus on resources for life science start-ups. Getting a new start-up running is challenging enough but when you are a life science start-up this could present with an additional array of diverse resource challenges.
