Ph.D. PROGRAM IN BIOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOENTREPRENEURSHIP
Alliance between Fundación Ciencia & Vida and Universidad San Sebastián | Program Director: Dr. Enrique Brandan
Description:
The program seeks to train students in the fundamental stages and characteristics of a scientifically based biotechnology venture. For this, it includes entrepreneurship models and financing mechanisms for startups that consider financiers, venture capital groups, capital increases, series A, B, etc. It also considers concepts of intellectual property and technology transfer. The requirements for obtaining a patent and the processes for filing patent applications in the USA, Europe and Chile will be studied. The contents of patents will be studied, and different examples will be analyzed. Patents and applications will be searched in various databases, in Chile and in the world, and the different types of licenses used in business agreements will be discussed. Finally, students will work on the formulation of an application for a particular biotechnological invention including claims and its submission strategy to world patent offices. The program includes training in the product registration process in the health area in the USA, Europe, and Chile.

Ph.D. PROGRAM IN COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY
Alliance between Fundación Ciencia & Vida and Universidad San Sebastián | Program Director: Dr. Tomás Pérez-Acle
Description:
The Program places special emphasis on transdisciplinary and from this approach seeks to study and solve problems in both the life sciences, the social sciences, and the exact sciences. In addition to the laboratories of the Fundacion Ciencia & Vida, it offers the possibility of interacting and carrying out theses in the research laboratories of one of the biotechnology companies located on our Campus. During their passage through the Program, students will acquire skills that will allow them to identify important questions both in the most basic aspects of the disciplines and in their medical and environmental applications, formulate and develop research projects, critically read scientific literature, communicate their own findings and ideas, and insert themselves in academia, as well as in the private and public sector.
