The Biotechnology Program students learn the process of innovative thinking in three phases:

  • Phase I - the students learn business and scientific principles through didactic lectures in the classroom.
  • Phase II - the students learn how to apply these principles through hands on techniques that are centered around projects that work on problems that affect the world.
  • Phase III - the students learn how these principles can be used to develop innovative solutions to problems through innovative and critical thinking skills at different internship sites at UAB and beyond.
