The Fellows will be mentored by a community of business and science leaders in the Boston biopharma and health technology communities and Harvard's i-lab will be the hub of the fellowship where students will be provided with space and the opportunity to join the community. Formal and informal components of the program will provide education and interaction in areas including strategy, R & D management, intellectual property, regulatory affairs, business development and entrepreneurial financing.
