As we celebrate
completing the inaugural session of the Biocon Academy-KGI certificate program,
I am reflecting on this time last year, when we were beginning to consider
developing it. In fall 2000, Keck Graduate Institute (KGI), located in
Claremont, California, enrolled its first students for a two year master’s
program to educate scientists and engineers to help translate basic scientific
discoveries into practical applications that will improve people’s lives. KGI
was the first program of its kind and was based on the recognition that there
were no programs dedicated to bridging the gap between business and science in
the life sciences. Now, we are one (the best one!) of over 300 similar
“Professional Science Masters” (PSM) programs in the United States. As we
developed the curriculum, we embraced the knowledge that the life sciences
comprise a global industry that impacts the entire world. So, with the
emergence of the biotechnology sector in India, it is not a surprise that
almost a third of our students in California come from India.
As we grew and
talked with KGI Trustees about how to spread the positive impact of a KGI
education more broadly, several spoke of Biocon CEO Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, who
recognizes that Indian biotech companies have the same needs for
business-trained science graduates as U.S. life science industries do, and that
they also were experiencing the same gap in training that KGI was formed to
address. She had the wisdom to see that she could begin to contribute to the
development of professionals who would better serve her company and others in
India by partnering with KGI, starting with a one-semester program covering
important concepts in bioprocessing and clinical and regulatory affairs that
impact the industry. Out of a highly selective process, 30 pioneer students
were chosen and have now completed this innovative certificate program.
I have examined
the curriculum and talked with faculty about their experience in teaching the
courses remotely from California.
Uniformly, they are all excited that the program has gone so well. There
were a few technical glitches that needed fixing, but overall, the learning was
deep and the growth and increase in professionalism was profound. I trust that
you graduates will put your learning to good use and will continue to evolve as
you bring your talents and passion to the industry. Most importantly, encourage
others to follow in your footsteps. There is plenty of room in the industry for
knowledgeable professionals in the U.S., India, and around the globe!
Congratulations,
and welcome to this industry. Through it, you truly have the power to make the
world a better place!
