They all share a common passion for the future of the life sciences and all its sectors, including pharmaceuticals, biotech, medical devices and equipment, insurance, finance, and providers. These partners collaborate with CBLS in a variety of ways, including funding research grants and awards, serving on our board, or mentoring our ambitious students.
Being able to combine the Kelley business skills I learned from my degree with my passion for life sciences was unique and a way for Alison and I to feel like we could make an impact for future students who share our desire to learn more about this space. Our hope is that our gift to the CBLS allows more students at IU to be exposed to the opportunities within life sciences where they can benefit society.

The Center for the Business of Life Science fulfills an important role in educating future leaders in the life sciences industry during a time of rapid change, innovation, and scientific development. Lessons learned in the classroom will help shape global health care solutions critical to patient care. As a guest lecturer, I have always been impressed with the level of engagement, their insightful questions, and a passion for making a difference. I highly recommend this program for anyone considering a career in life sciences.
