About Us

Launched in 2002, the Center for BioEntrepreneurship offers a broad spectrum of programs empowering life scientists with the skills necessary to build commercial value from their inventions, and to become leaders in the life science industry. Programs are crafted to directly address the needs of life scientists, clinicians, and trainees. Broadly, we offer:

Academic courses on issues key to forming and running a life science business

Seminars, including the Scientist to CEO speaker series

Informal discussions with entrepreneurs and other professionals

Mentoring for UCSF entrepreneurs

Reference materials on the life science industry and starting a company

Access to additional resources for entrepreneurs

CBE is a cross-campus initiative whose programs are open to faculty, students, fellows, and staff from all four schools at UC San Francisco. Approximately 700 people participated in our programs in the last academic year and we anticipate continued growth in the coming years as the programs and resources expand.
