Clinical Research Business Development & Strategic Management

Where science meets the business of research.

Why It Matters

Clinical research is a science and a business. Every study that reaches a site is first won through a proposal, priced through a budget and secured through a relationship. As India grows as a destination for trials and the pharma market expands, CROs, SMOs, sites and pharma companies need people who understand both trial operations and the commercial decisions behind them.

Who It Is for

Pharma MBA students, life-science graduates moving into commercial roles, clinical research professionals, SMO and site owners, and founders planning a CRO, SMO or healthcare venture.
