Overview

Life Sciences answer some of the most important questions we face in our daily lives, and are among the most promising Programs of Studies which offer students very diverse career options. Some of us become medical doctors, some of us become scientific researchers, and some of us move into the splendid business world of life sciences related industries.

Because we have so many great career options, we need guidance in choosing a suitable path. Do we need to get into graduate schools? Is Medical Doctor the best occupation? Why companies need life sciences graduates to do business? Is pharmaceutical or medical device industry better? ... Do you have similar questions in mind?

We think the best way to answer these questions is to invite distinguished speakers from the diverse industries and academia to share their success stories, experience, opinions and ideas with us, so that we could better understand the amazing career choices that are available to us, and connect with these professionals and learn from them. Such event will create wonderful opportunities and great value for all of us, and we call it the 2011 Life Sciences Conference.

1:00 to 6:00 p.m., Saturday, November 12, 2011 (Doors open at 12:30 p.m.)
