Moore's law describes how processing power continues to be faster, better, and cheaper. It not only powered the computer industry forward, but it also is a key driver for propelling biotechnology. It is hard to imagine the world of biotechnology without the world of software. Moreover, the future will further underscore software's importance for enabling biotechnology innovations. This course is focusing on the relationship between biotechnology processes and information technology where students will be introduced to business process workflow modeling and how these concepts are applied in large organizations. Through this method, students will learn the key drivers behind information systems and how to identify organizational opportunities and leverage these to create disruptive models. Student will also learn to assess new technology sectors for unsolved problems and commercially viable solutions By taking this course, students will become conversant with the software technologies that can be applied to commercial life science problems in the present and future.
