EXECUTIVE  SUMMARY  

This   document   outlines   the   proposal   for   a   new   Temple   University   Professional   Science   Masters   Degree   Program   in  Bioinnovation  (PSM  in  Bioinnovation).  

Bioinnovation   entails   identification,   commercialization,   and   dissemination   of   novel   biological   technologies,   concepts  and  models.   The   primary   objective   of   the   PSM   in   Bioinnovation   program   is   to   develop   a   portfolio   of   knowledge   and  experience   that   will   allow   individuals   with   background   in   science,   business,   communication,   law   and   policy   and  regulation   to   pursue   careers   in   fast   growing   fields,   such   as   global   health,   pharmaceutical   and   biotech   industry,  bioinformation,  technology  transfer,  environment  and  trade.  

The   program   will   provide   (a)   extensive   biotechnology   and   biomedical   background   to   challenge   and   complement  traditional  thinking  and  applications;  (b)  review  translational  nature  of  biodiscoveries  through  classroom  instruction  and  direct  interaction  with  different  bioindustry  professionals,  including  scientists,  lawyers,  journalists,  etc.;  (c)  develop  team  and  matrix  work  routines  and  effective  communication  skills.  

The   program  draws   from   the   strengths   of   Temple   faculty   (College   of   Science   and   Technology   (CST)   and   Fox   School   of  Business).   In  addition,   interactions  with  different  bioindustry  professionals,   including  scientists,   lawyers,   journalists,  and  recruiting  agents  are  planned.  Program  development  and   implementation  will  be  executed  by   the  Steering  Committee  who  will  partner  with  the  Temple  Graduate  School  as  well  as  Internal  and  External  Advisory  Committee  members.  

The  program  will  offer  16  courses  over  24  months.  The  9  core  courses  (24  credits)   include:     Innovative  BioModels  and  Concepts,  Research  and  Commercialization  of  Biomarkers  and  Biotargets,  Epigenetic  and  Genetic  Applications   in  Drug  Design   and   Drug   Response,   Management   and   Marketing   for   Technologists,   Application   of   Systems   Biology,  Dissemination   of   Biodiscoveries   through   Traditional   and   New  Media,   Assessing   the   Feasibility   of   Innovative   Business  Ideas,  Ethics,  Regulation  and  Policy  and  Capstone  Project.    Recommended  elective  courses  for  further  specialization  are:  Milestones   in   Clinical   Translation   of   Biodiscoveries,   Financing   New   Enterprises,   Competing   on   Value:   Analyzing   and  Shaping   Your   Industry,   Project   Management,   Innovation-­‐Based   Strategy:   Managing   Disruptive   Change,   Bioadvanced  Screening  in  Health  Disparity,  Virtual  Reality  in  Bioindustry  and  Medicine  and  Bioinnovation  Seminar.  Learning  modules  of  the  Program  will  be  conducted  through  classroom  instructions,  home  assignments,  laboratory  projects,  and  individual  research.   Courses   will   be   developed   and   thought   by   CST   faculty   and   the   faculty   from   Fox   School   of   Business.   Team  assignments  and  interactions  with  the  faculty  will  be  emphasized.  The  program  will  culminate  with  a  capstone  project.  Students   who   earn   at   least   30   credits   and   successfully   complete   and   present   a   capstone   project   will   receive   the  Professional  Masters  Degree  in  Bioinnovation.    

PROGRAM  RATIONALE  and  DESCRIPTION  

Demand  for  Professional  Science  Master  (PSM)  Degree  

According   to   the   Chronicle   of   Higher   Education,   the   Professional   Science  Master   (PSM)   degree   is   one   of   the  most  important  innovations  in  graduate  science  education  registering  remarkably  rapid  growth  over  the  past  several  years.  PSM  degrees   are   configured   to   respond   to   the  need  of  nonacademic  employers   (companies,   government   agencies,  nonprofits)   for   graduate   science   professionals   who   have   the   additional   skills   necessary   to   contribute   to   their  organizations.  The  degrees  represent  a  response  from  academia  to  repeated  calls  from  corporate  and  political  leaders  for   better   articulation   of   American   graduate   education   with   the   country's   work-­‐force   needs.   Graduates   are   often  referred  to  as  "technically  trained  leaders"  who  will  help  develop  the  innovative,  knowledge-­‐based  economy  America  requires   to   remain   globally   competitive.   According   to   the   United   States   Labor   Department,   the   employment   of  biological   scientists   is   expected   to   increase   much   faster   than   the   average   of   all   occupations,   although   there   will  continue  to  be  stiff  competition  for  basic  research  positions.  Graduates  of  PSM  programs  are  in  high  demand,  which  underscores  PSM  as  an  attractive  career  path  for  those  who  do  not  wish  to  become  academic  researchers  or  pursue  a  Ph.D.  According  to  the  latest  Council  of  Graduate  Schools  report  on  PSM  programs,  enrollment  in  PSM  in  biology  and  health-­‐related   fields   reached   over   40%   of   all   ~6,000   PSM   students   in   2012.   Nearly   half   of   the   students   have   been  women,  and  nearly  two-­‐thirds  have  been  U.S.  citizens.

PSM  in  Bioinnovation  

PSM  in  Bioinnovation  will  be  recognized  as  a  PSM  degree  program.  The  primary  objective  of  the  PSM  in  Bioinnovation  program  is   to  develop  a  portfolio  of  knowledge  and  experience  that  will  allow   individuals  with  background   in  science,  business,  communication,  law  and  policy  and  regulation  to  pursue  careers  in  fast  growing  fields,  such  as  global  health,  pharmaceutical   and   biotech   industry,   bioinformation,   technology   transfer,   environment   and   trade.   The   program  will  provide  (a)  extensive  biotechnology  and  biomedical  background  to  challenge  and  complement  traditional  thinking  and  applications;  (b)  review  translational  nature  of  biodiscoveries  through  classroom  instruction  and  direct  interaction  with  different   bioindustry   professionals,   including   scientists,   lawyers,   journalists,   etc.;   (c)   develop   team   and   matrix   work  routines   and   effective   communication   skills.   The   program   is   designed   to   help   recent   graduates   in   obtaining   relevant  employment  as  well  as  to  accelerate  career  advancement  and/or  allow  career  shift  of  currently  employed  professionals.  

The  program  draws  from  the  strengths  of  Temple  faculty  of  College  of  Science  and  Technology  (CST)  and  Fox  School  of  Business).   In  addition,   interactions  with  different  bioindustry  professionals,   including  scientists,   lawyers,   journalists,  and  recruiting  agents  are  planned.  Program  development  and   implementation  will  be  executed  by   the  Steering  Committee  who  will  partner  with  the  Temple  Graduate  School  as  well  as  Internal  and  External  Advisory  Committee  members.  

The  PMS  in  Bioinnovation  program  is  designed  as  a  competitive,  limited  enrollment  program,  emphasizing  close  faculty  supervision  and  group  interactions.  The  curriculum  will  follow  a  professional  work-­‐force  model,  with  teams  assembled  to  meet  learning  goals  in  both  the  classroom  and  laboratory  courses.  This  approach  will  enhance  interdisciplinary  learning,  critical   thinking   and   fill-­‐in   background   knowledge   following   a   project-­‐based   approach.   By   using   learning   and   doing  modules,   the   students   will   improve   numerous   cognitive   skills,   including   analytical   and   critical   thinking,   project  management,  communication  and  presentation  skills.  The  courses  offered  by  the  Fox  School  of  Business  will  educate  the  students   in   evaluating   the  marketability   of   bioinnovative   concepts   and   technologies   as   well   as   in   understanding   the  basics  of  bioenterprise  operations.    

The   program   will   monitor   the   professional   progress   of   its   alumni   and   incorporate   changes   dictated   by   current   job  market   and   global   economy.   The   program   includes   core   requirements   comprising   current   topics   in   biotechnology,  entrepreneurship,   communication,   bioethics   and   policy.   Elective   classes   for   further   specialization   include   research  experiences  at  Temple  University  laboratories  as  well  as  internships  in  other  institutions  (e.g.,  local  pharmaceutical  and  biotech  companies)  as  well  as  acquiring  knowledge  on  evaluating  translational  value  and  commercialization  process  of  biodiscoveries.    Similar  Programs  within  Temple    Currently,  CST  offers  the  Professional  Science  Masters  Program  in  Biotechnology.  This  program  includes  core  courses  in  current   topics   in   biotechnology,   concepts   and   quantitative   tools   that   are   necessary   for   understanding   environmental  processes   and   designing   environmental   protection   systems,   fundamental   principles   of   population   genetics   and  comparative   genomics,   laboratory   skills,  major   research   areas   of  microbial   biotechnology,   current   approaches   to   the  analysis   of   biomolecules,   how   microbes   are   manipulated   to   solve   practical   problems   through   biotechnology,   ethics,  policy   and   regulations.   Laboratory   research   is   emphasized.   The   PSM   in   Bioinnovation   varies   from   the   Biotechnology  program   in   that   it   focuses   on   applicability,   commercialization   and   dissemination   of   innovative   biological   models,  concepts  and  methods  taking  into  account  complex  relationships  between  basic  research,  commercialization  processes  and   ethical   issues.   Several   courses   in   the   Bioinnovation   program  will   be   developed  with   or   offered   by   Fox   School   of  Business.  Bioinnovation  courses  will  be  available  to  individual  Biotechnology  students.  Details  are  included  in  Appendix  A.    Similar  Programs  in  USA  Similar  postgraduate  programs  in  USA  are  very  few  and  include:    1.  Certificate  Program  in  Bioinnovation  and  Entrepreneurship  (University  of  Colorado);  2.  Bioinnovate  graduate  tracks,  Department  of  Bioengineering  (University  of  Utah);  3.  The  interdisciplinary  Bioinnovation  PhD    Program  (Tulane  University,  New  Orleans);

Page 14: PSM in Bioinnovation

Program  Revenue    Tuition  represents  the  main  revenue  stream,  and  is  estimated  as  follows:  10  students  will  be  admitted  each  year,  and  tuition  is  assumed  to  be  entirely  at  the  in-­‐state  rate:  $831/credit  (out-­‐of-­‐state  rate  is  $1,128/credit).  Program  Year  1  includes  21  credits,  and  year  2  includes  min  12  credits.  

Year  1  tuition  revenue  (10  students):   $174,510  Year  2  tuition  revenue  (20  students):   $199,440  Year  3  tuition  revenue  (20  students):   $349,020  

At  the  continuous  enrollment  of  20  students,  tuition  revenue  should  easily  exceed  the  estimated  recurrent  costs  of  the  program.  

Administrative  Structure  

The  Department   of   Biology/Biotechnology   Center  will   be   the   program  home  department.   Program  oversight  will  involve   the   Steering   Committee   (see   above),   which   will   interface   as   necessary   with   other   Biology   department  committees,   especially   the   Graduate   Committee,   with   respect   to   shared   curricular   matters   and   the   progress   of  students  in  the  program.  

The   Course   Program   Director   will   be   appointed   from   the   ranks   of   the   Biology   Faculty,   and   will   be   an   active  researcher   and   instructor.   An   appropriate   workload   adjustment   will   be   determined   to   allow   adequate   time   for  administration  of   the  program.    An   internal  advisory  board  will  be   formed  that  will   include  appropriate   individuals  from  Temple  University.  

As   required   for   a   PSM   degree   program,   an   External   Scientific   Advisory   Board   will   be   formed   that   will   include  appropriate   individuals   from   local   biotechnology   and   pharmaceutical   industries,   law,   communication,   and   other  areas.
