From Lab to Market – An 8-Week Program for Life Sciences Innovators

The Life Sciences Academy Regensburg is an eight-week program designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to translate life science research into successful ventures. Starting with a kick-off event, the program comprises eight 90-minute modules covering key aspects of drug development and research commercialization.

Structure of the academy:

Kick-off, January 14, 2027, at the University of Regensburg

In a relaxed setting with snacks and drinks, you’ll have the opportunity to meet the other participants and explore the Regensburg ecosystem, which supports academic spin-offs.
