SUMMARY:Leadership Development for Physicians in Academic Health Centers
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\nAcademic health centers in the United States are experiencing major change as a result of the effects of health reform and financial pressures. In addition to the restructuring of the clinical enterprise\, academic centers are being challenged to sustain their academic missions and priorities in the face of resource constraints. In order to tackle these challenges\, institutions need physicians in administrative positions at all levels who can provide leadership and thoughtful managerial initiatives. \nFor over forty years Harvard has conducted intensive two-week executive development programs designed specifically for chairs\, chiefs\, and medical directors in clinical departments at major teaching hospitals. During that time\, leaders from institutions in all regions of the United States have participated in and praised these unique educational programs. \nLeadership Development for Physicians in Academic Health Centers is designed to serve a wide array of physician leaders. It convenes medical directors and chiefs of divisions from academic health centers together with an interdisciplinary faculty team for two weeks of intensive and systematic study of the critical leadership and management issues faced by physicians in administrative positions and academic health centers. \nCurriculum \nThe curriculum is organized around the following interrelated courses taught by a faculty experienced in executive education for physicians and other key decision-makers in the health system: \n\nInstitutional Strategy\nFinancial Analysis\nOperations Management\nOrganizational Issues\nConflict Resolution and Negotiation\nLeadership\nHealth Policy\n\nA carefully integrated curriculum permits participants to examine fundamental leadership and managerial issues from the perspective of several disciplines. The overriding purpose for learning concepts\, techniques and skills in any of the management disciplines in this program is to understand their managerial use and limitations. \nTeaching Methods \nThe principal method of instruction in the program is the case method\, a technique pioneered and refined at the Harvard Business School. Most of the cases present actual problem situations familiar to physicians in administrative positions at academic health centers. \nThe case method confronts the participant with an actual management problem\, halted at a point where decisions must be made\, and empowers the participant to choose a course of action. \nParticipants go through a three-step study process. First\, participants study each case independently. Then they meet in small discussion groups to test their individual analysis against those of their peers. Lastly\, the entire class discusses the case\, with the professor as a catalyst and guide. The professor points out considerations the class has overlooked; elicits from participants the lessons of experience; pursues each line of investigation to its conclusion; and finally\, summarizes the discussion and draws out the major lessons it has taught. \nAssigned readings and guest lecturers supplement and augment the use of cases. In addition\, an important part of the learning process occurs during the informal exchange of insights and experience among participants and between participants and faculty. \nCourse Website

SUMMARY:New Biotech Funding Models: Is The Tech Revolution Coming?
DESCRIPTION:Early-stage financing and company creation models have evolved significantly over the last two decades from heavily-funded\, brick & mortar\, do or die entities to angel-enabled\, virtual and minimalistic proof of concept start-ups with hand-selected management and externally-enabled resources and ecosystems. Indeed\, the Funding Model for emerging biotech companies appears to borrow from the tech company funding models from two decades prior\, including incubators and accelerators\, angel investors\, shared laboratory and clinical facilities\, “venture engineering” and shared resource programs. At this MassBio program\, under the auspices of Entrepreneurs University\, we will explore the current funding models in vogue today\, the investor landscape\, the impact of advancing science and technology\, new types of partnerships\, and the novel approaches early-stage companies are executing to advance to the next stage of existence – and funding round. Finally\, our panel will provide their ideas on the future of venture funding and early-stage funding models in the biotech industry\, and open the program to a lively discussion with the audience. Our moderator for this program is the inimitable\, ever-effervescent John Hession. Please join us. \nSponsored by the MassBio Entrepreneurs University Working group.

SUMMARY:Biosciences Seminar with Nobel Prize Winner Sir Prof Richard Roberts\, Chief Scientific Officer at New England Biolabs
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\nNSTC: Year of Genomics Signature Event \nThe North Shore region is home to a thriving life science (particularly genomics) community including one of our co-host for this event: New England Biolabs. \nThis event will celebrate: \n\n\nKeynote: “Genomics and common sense to improve practical applications of biotechnology”\nThe scientific credibility of the region\nThe north of Boston as a great place to work\n\nThe event will include: \n\nKeynote\nSpeakers from leading genomics companies\nTable top exhibits\nHiring event breakout for companies to speak directly to students and early career candidates\nNetworking\n\nKeynote Speaker: Nobel prize winner\, Dr. Richard J. Roberts\, Chief Scientific Officer\, New England Biolabs\, Beverly\, Massachusetts. \nDr. Richard J. Roberts received a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry in 1968 from Sheffield University and then moved as a postdoctoral fellow to Harvard. From 1972 to 1992\, he worked at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory\, eventually becoming Assistant Director for Research under Dr. J.D. Watson. He began work on the newly discovered Type II restriction enzymes in 1972 and these enzymes have been a major research theme. \nStudies of transcription in Adenovirus-2 led to the discovery of split genes and mRNA splicing in 1977\, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1993. During the sequencing of the Adenovirus-2 genome computational tools became essential and his laboratory pioneered the application of computers in this area. DNA methyltransferases\, as components of restriction-modification systems are also of active interest and the first crystal structures for the HhaI methyltransferase led to the discovery of base flipping. Bioinformatic studies of microbial genomes to find new restriction systems are a major research focus as is the elucidation of DNA methyltransferase recognition sequences using SMRT sequencing and a new approach to m5C containing recognition sequences. \nDriving directions to Rose Performance Hall: Rose Performance Hall is located in the Walter J. Manninen Center for the Arts: \nTake Route 95 North to Route 128 North (Exit 45). Take Exit 17 (Grapevine Road\, Beverly Farms). Turn right off the exit ramp and right again after 1.5 miles onto Haskell Street (by the cemetery). Proceed to the end\, and at the stop sign\, turn right onto Hale Street/Route 127. Travel approximately 1.5 miles on Route 127 to Endicott College. \nThe first (receiving) entrance to the College is on the right. If the gate is open\, turn right into the campus and proceed straight up the roadway. The Manninen Center is on the left at the top of the hill. Limited parking is available in Lot 15 adjacent to the center. For additional parking\, continue past the center and turn left after Gloucester Hall into Lots 13 and 14. \nThe second (main) entrance is also on the right (approximately 300 yards beyond the first entrance). Enter the campus\, drive past the Public Safety building on the left\, and continue straight ahead to the main campus road (Endicott Drive)\, which loops around the campus. Pass the Chapel and Callahan Center on the left and the Gerrish School of Business/ Judge Science Center on the right. Continue past Hempstead Stadium and the Post Center on the left\, and proceed down the steep hill. On the right are Lots 13 and 14 -large parking areas that are accessed through an entry point at Gloucester Hall are on the right. \nTo view the campus map\, go to https://map.endicott.edu/ \n  \nCost/Registration Info\n\n$0.00 Executive Members\n$5.00 Individual and InTransition Members\n$5.00 Students\n$10.00 Partners\nVeterans – no charge; email nstcstaff@gmail.com for discount code\n$30.00 All Others\nAt-the-Door registration: $20 for members; $35 for all others.
