The world of biotechnology "start-ups" and entrepreneurship offers exciting new avenues for driving state-of-the-art research using an arsenal of multidisciplinary skills, whether your role is as part of a team or as a leader. Although traditionally these positions may not be as secure as those offered by some of the larger companies, the small start-up culture provides opportunities for contributing at many levels to a wide range of responsibilities: from scientific discovery to delivery of proof of concept and intellectual property; from analysis of market opportunities and competitive intelligence to creation of time lines and business plans for a first product. Often, if you get in on the ground level, you get to validate your own concept, pitch to potential investors, argue value, build a team, engage advisors, and then, with funding in hand, launch an entirely new research and development (R&D) enterprise. Many of the skills and much of the experience gained while pursuing a graduate degree can be put to good use in these arenas as well. This path, however, is not for the faint of heart; it requires not only a strong scientific background and organizational skills, but also the ability to work well on a team, excellent communication skills, and persistence when faced with delays or disappointment. With increasing responsibilities in the small company come the requirements for aptitudes for leadership, strategic and financial planning, networking, negotiating, and managing both projects and personnel.

生物技术初创企业和创业的职业。


生物技术“初创企业”和创业精神的世界为利用多学科技能推动最先进的研究提供了令人兴奋的新途径，无论您的角色是作为团队的一员还是领导者。尽管传统上这些职位可能不如一些大公司提供的职位那么安全，但小型初创企业文化提供了在多个层面上为广泛的职责做出贡献的机会：从科学发现到概念验证和智力成果的交付。财产;从市场机会和竞争情报分析到为第一个产品创建时间表和业务计划。通常，如果你进入基层，你就可以验证自己的概念，向潜在投资者推销，论证价值，建立团队，聘请顾问，然后利用手头的资金，启动全新的研发（研发）企业。在攻读研究生学位时获得的许多技能和经验也可以在这些领域得到充分利用。然而，这条路不适合胆小的人。它不仅需要强大的科学背景和组织能力，还需要良好的团队合作能力、出色的沟通能力以及面对延误或失望时的坚持。随着小公司责任的增加，对领导能力、战略和财务规划、网络、谈判以及项目和人员管理的能力提出了要求。
