KGI would like to acknowledge the following

for their assistance:

We Are…KGIWe won’t try to dazzle you by describing our long history, ivy covered buildings or statues of dead founders. For one thing, our history is extraordinary butshort—we just celebrated our 10th anniversary. Our founder and first presidentis retired—but very alive and still teaches classes. Instead, we thought the bestway to explain Keck Graduate Institute (KGI) is to introduce you to a few students, faculty and alumni. You can decide for yourself if these are the kindsof people you’d like to work with over the next couple of years.

Consider This■ KGI is the only graduate school in the U.S. created exclusively for the education

of leaders in the life science industry. We’re setting the standard for team-based,hands-on, real-world education at the intersection of business and science.

■ The biotechnology industry has exploded since 1992, with U.S. health-carebiotech revenues increasing from $8 billion in 1992 to $50.7 billion in 2005.

■ Because KGI has no departments and faculty are encouraged to collaborate,our curriculum is agile allowing us to adapt to the fast changing needs of this complex industry.

■ KGI faculty are renowned researchers, teachers and entrepreneurs with significant corporate experience, dedicated to building a cadre of leaders who will translate basic science into commercial realities.

■ KGI students come directly from undergraduate programs and industry. They arrive talented, bright and motivated; they leave skilled, ambitious and confident. All are highly recruited by leading life sciences companies.

■ Founded in 1997, KGI is the newest member of the prestigious ClaremontColleges in Claremont, California. Our interiors are designed for wet labs,classrooms, faculty offices and student project space. KGI is within easy walking distance to excellent restaurants, movies, shopping and banking.Parking is free.

■ With the world’s greatest concentration of research universities and biotechnology companies, California offers unlimited opportunities forresearch projects, internships, research funding and full-time employment.

■ KGI is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.

a clear focusSome might think Stephen Chang, MBS ’08,is a little “geeky.” If you define geeky as smart,hard-working, respectful, and responsible, thenwe’d like to have a few more geeky students likeStephen at KGI. Some of us lead by enthusiasmand communication; other leaders are moreintrospective and deliberate. With our emphasison team-based projects, all kinds of leadershipskills are needed.

Stephen readily acknowledges that KGI isn’t for everyone. “It’s demanding, fast-paced andconstantly changing,” he admits. “But this ishow you work in real life. There are lulls andthen spurts when the work is very intense, andfinally a reprieve—and then you plunge headfirstinto the next project.” For those who want to become leaders at companies fighting life-threatening viruses, tackling genetic disorders, or improving the lives of the disabled, KGI is like no other graduate program. Our team-oriented, project-based dynamic approach comes as close to industry as an academic institution can.

“What sets KGI apart is that our curriculum is dynamic—we’re agile and we can continuallyadjust to the changing needs of industry,” henotes. “At other schools, they have a fixed, core curriculum and change comes slowly—if atall. Our faculty solicit input from the corporate sector, alumni and even current students to makethe courses more comprehensive and current.”As for Stephen, his leadership skills have alreadypaid off—he earned a coveted internship withTunnell Consulting last summer.

CURRICULUM OVERVIEW

KGI’s team-oriented project-based curriculumsets us apart and is widelypraised by industry.

First yearAll students take coreclasses in the followingareas to develop a broadfoundation in the industry:

■ PharmaceuticalDiscovery andDevelopment

■ Medical Devices and Diagnostics

■ Marketing and Strategy

■ Systems andComputational Biology

■ Accounting and Finance

■ Bioethics

■ Bioprocessing

■ Organizational Behavior

SecondyearStudents choose electivesfrom the five focus tracks.

In addition, they participate in the TeamMasters Project (TMP)—the equivalent of two courses—a capstone consultingproject that draws from allareas of the curriculum.

KGI’s focus tracks allow you to tailor your

professional degree towards your area of interest.

Bioprocessing students will obtain a thorough

understanding of industrial processes fromearly-stage development

through large-scale manufacturing.

Medical Devices and Diagnostics draws on an interdisciplinary

approach including engineering, chemistry,physiology, medicine

and computer science in the design and manufacturing of medical devices and diagnostics.

Pharmaceutical Discovery and Development provides

students with an under-standing of the technical

processes involved in drug discovery, clinical

development and regulatory approval

for pharmaceutical and biological products.

Clinical and RegulatoryAffairs provides an

understanding of how theFDA and its international

counterparts regulate the development of novel

products including assessment of product

quality, non-clinical and clinical evaluation.

Business of Bioscience students identify business

opportunities in life science industries andanalyze the associatedmarket, management,

technological and ethical issues.

taking risks, reaping benefitsJanelle Grimes, MBS ’06, may have to put owning a Porsche GT3 on hold for a while. That’sbecause she’s adjusting to a brand new job inRegulatory Affairs with Amylin Pharmaceuticals,paying off undergraduate loans, and cheering on her favorite team, the Pittsburgh Steelers.

After five years of bench work in variousresearch labs, Janelle knew that a master’s degreewas the ticket to furthering her career in the bio-science industry. “I researched a ton of programs,but most were part of existing schools of engineering or science. KGI was the only placededicated to the professional life sciences master’sdegree,” she says.

Her decision to pursue a graduate degree wasnot made lightly. In fact, it’s something all KGIstudents grapple with whether entering from the work force or immediately following theirundergraduate work. After all, leaving (or foregoing) a coveted (or boring) job, taking onmore debt and pursuing a unique degree that’sless than traditional, may seem risky at first.“It’s about the entire package. I quit my job andchose KGI because it provided an opportunity to make a real difference in the world, not justto make more money.”

Students and faculty who come here share her enthusiasm and commitment to filling this niche in the biosciences industry. “We experienceso much from each other in this small KGI community. You’d be amazed by the careerpaths our graduates take; it’s much more thanyou could put a dollar amount on.” Will it payoff? According to Janelle, it has so far!

just call me debJust a day before taking this photo, DebChakravarti gave a lecture to the scientific community at a national symposium to honorhis father. Deb telecast to India from his bedroom—and in his pajamas. While you won’t see Debrunning KGI’s halls in his “PJs,” you will witnessthis Calcutta-raised, Oxford-educated son of twoprofessors doing amazing things to make yourKGI experience exciting and relevant.

Working late in the lab? Deb will stay until thewee morning hours. Students are welcome todrop by his office at all hours of the day—ornight. One student says it all: “Your enthusiasmhas given me something to look for in my owncareer. Thanks for making my time at KGI sospecial.” Plus, Deb lectures on such cutting-edgeresearch in proteomics that textbooks have yet to be written. He’s also an expert on vaccinedevelopment and the history of science thanks to his many years of experience at Wyeth.

His annual celebration of Diwali, the HinduFestival of Lights, attracts scores from the KGIfamily. He’s known for regularly reassuring the families of international students that theirkids are OK here in California. It’s this caring, personal touch—along with an impressive back-ground in academia and industry—that’s madeDeb a superstar educator worldwide. “We areproducing a generation of students that is goingto go out there and help build the industry oftomorrow,” says Deb.

mixing businessand scienceMove over Rachel Ray! If Sarah Koo, MBS ’09,has her way, you may be looking for another jobon the Food Network. Lucky for Rachel—andSarah’s classmates—that her passion for cookingis exceeded by her interests in biochemistry.

Sarah first heard about KGI’s Master ofBioscience program from her mentor during herjunior year at UCLA. “When I saw the KGI program a light bulb went on. My interest wasdefinitely piqued but I was still at a crossroadswhether to pursue science in academia or sciencein industry,” she says. “After four years of collegeI wanted to get some professional experience tocomplement my academics.”

After two years working in an industrial lab,Sarah is now even more convinced that pursuingthe business aspects of science is the right pathfor her. While some of her friends chose to pursuean MBA, she feels that route is too detachedfrom her excellent foundation in science. Unliketraditional MBA programs, KGI’s business curriculum is taught from the discovery-oriented,highly-regulated bioscience industry perspectivewhich makes it more relevant to the problemsour students will actually take on. Case analysesinclude intellectual property considerations and the ethics involved when dealing with life-threatening diseases. Sarah sums it up, “I likedthe fact KGI’s Master of Bioscience is interdisci-plinary which, I know from experience, is muchneeded in the field.”

mark your calendarsYou could let your studies at KGI take over your life. After all, this is graduate school—you’reexpecting to work hard and Jennifer Boyd, MBS ’08, won’t argue with you. She leveragedher hard work into a Project Managementinternship at Amylin Pharmaceuticals last sum-mer where she analyzed, validated and updatedthe tasks involved in tracking candidates in clinical trials—and presented the results to senior management.

As you can see, Jen’s as focused as anyone canbe on her education and career. But she alsounderstands that the balance between fun andwork is important. She’ll invite you to join agroup of fellow students for a movie at the newindie theater in Claremont, play a game of poolin the student lounge, check out a ball game or a concert at Dodger Stadium or even test yoursnowboarding prowess at nearby Mount Baldy.As KGI’s unofficial student events coordinator,Jennifer has her hand in just about everythingextracurricular.

This year, she tackled KGI’s Student Mentor program, a student-run program that matchesincoming students with second-year students as their experienced guides. “I was part of the program coming into the school and had a greatbonding experience with my mentor,” she says.“We talked about everything from what to expectfrom the classes and what the teachers are like to where to go to have fun or a good localItalian place to eat.”

days of wine andbioprocessingKGI Professor Matthew Croughan is not yourtypical wine maker. As director of KGI’s AmgenBioprocessing Center, he and the Center play anintegral role in the overall education of nearlyevery KGI student. After all, wine making is,arguably, the world’s oldest form of bioprocess engineering.

Matt, a former senior manager at Genentech, is also highly sought after as a consultant tomore than 40 companies in the biotech field.Throughout his experience, he witnessed the talent gap for technically savvy managers in the field. Intrigued by the notion that KGI couldactually help produce the next generation ofindustry leaders, he joined the faculty in 2005.Ever the evangelist, he says, “When it comes topharmaceuticals and battling diseases—thingslike vaccines, therapeutic proteins, therapeuticstem cells, and human growth hormones—all involve bioprocessing—as do some of life’s simpler pleasures like beer, wine and cheese making. At KGI, there are many ongoing opportunities to take part in saving lives as well as making life worth living.”

Matt notes that most graduate programs providea good grounding in the fundamental sciencesand engineering. However, he will also point outthat they lack attention to commercialization.“We bridge that gap,” he says. “Our curriculumis built upon the commercialization of scienceand engineering and how to profitably marketproducts, create business models, understandstrategy, and respond to bioethical issues—all the while keeping in mind the end goal ofhelping improve people’s quality of life.”

sowing the seedsof inventionThe thrill of discovery (research) is so prominentin Professor Molly Schmid’s daily life it shouldnot surprise anyone that this renowned scientistspends her free time in her garden. Nurturing agarden is a lot like fostering research discoveries—they both need to be tended and allowed to grow.

After 10 years in the biotechnology industry(most recently serving as the Senior VP forPreclinical Programs at Affinium Pharmaceuticalsin Toronto) Molly brings vast technical knowl-edge and business experience to KGI. She is aFellow of the American Academy of Microbiology,a Searle/Chicago Community Trust Scholar anda Damon Runyon-Walter Winchell Fellow. Sheholds nine patents and, if that weren’t enough,she’s also KGI’s Entrepreneur-in-Residence andDirector of Research.

“Research at KGI is interdisciplinary and applied,”she explains. “We have faculty from engineering,molecular biology, computational science andapplied physics to name a few—and they’re allactive in research.” As Entrepreneur-in Residence,Molly helps transfer KGI’s findings to the market-place. Like several of her KGI colleagues, shehas managed start-up companies so she knowsall about business plans, intellectual property law,and risk analysis. But one of her favorite things(outside of gardening) is cultivating students’aspirations—whether in research or industry.

it’s who you knowPaul Schultz, MBS ’08, was not a first rounddraft pick for the LA Lakers or the SeattleSupersonics. He wasn’t even a highly recruitedathlete at Washington State. However, he doesknow something about teamwork, hard work,practice, agility, communication skills—andequally important—networking. With this skillset, Paul not only identifies opportunities, hemakes them happen.

For Paul, the ability to make industry connectionswas just as compelling a reason to choose KGI asthe academics. Right from the start, Paul jumpedinto a wide range of KGI-associated corporateevents, gaining valuable information that he parlayed into his class work—and beyond.“While working on a medical devices licensingproject, I attended an industry symposium inOrange County where I met a venture capitalistwho put me in touch with licensing experts.Thanks to the corporate networking skills Igained at KGI, my project was a great success.”

Paul also leveraged his savvy into several summerinternship offers—including an on-the-spot invitation to join the business development teamof an innovative healthcare products company.“Unfortunately, they needed someone right awayand I was still finishing the semester so I had toturn it down,” notes Paul. “But it did inspire meto keep networking and I landed several moreinternship offers.” Sometimes who you know isjust as important as what you know—it’s all partof the KGI experience.

the doctor is in—at amgenIf Sandeep Inamdar’s golf game was as good as his fluency in languages, he’d be on the progolf tour with Tiger Woods. Sandeep, MBS ’03,is fluent in three languages and can order dinnerand ask, “Where’s the restroom?” in five.

Sandeep, who is also an MD, speaks the lan-guage of doctors, nurses and pharmacists. Butwhat was missing from the practice of medicinewas what Sandeep was most interested in: thebusiness of moving new medicines and medicaldevices into the market place. He wasn’t surewhat to expect from KGI or if the program wasrecognized by top biotech and pharmaceuticalcompanies. That uncertainty disappeared whenhe saw how KGI merged science and businessinto a team-based approach for solving real biotechproblems for industry leaders. “This programplayed to my strengths of coordinating, speakingand communicating with clinically trained professionals.”

Today he’s at the intersection of clinical researchand commercial product development. Not surprisingly, he attributes landing this importantposition and his fast climb up the corporate ladder directly to KGI’s unique hybrid of science,business and engineering. “This background differentiated me from other candidates becauseI understand the business part of the equation—how industry works. That sealed the deal forme,” he says. “To be a manager at Amgen, I must ‘walk the walk and talk the talk.’ KGItaught me that. Combined with a star-studdedlist of KGI Trustees and Advisory Council members—all with corporate and academicbackgrounds—my career opportunities wereextraordinary.”

location, location,location“Like awesome, Dude” is not part of StevenWeinstein’s vocabulary. Nevertheless he is a native Southern Californian through and through.Steve, MBS ’07, agrees he may be a bit biasedbut he wouldn’t choose to live anyplace else—and he hasn’t had to. Steve landed a great posi-tion with Baxter International in Los Angeleswithin its operational leadership developmentprogram right after graduation.

You won’t hear much dissension from KGI’s students, faculty and staff—many who’ve comefrom all corners of the world to study and workin scenic Claremont—just ranked as the fifthbest small community in the US to live. “Thereis so much to do here—It’s two hours to SantaBarbara or San Diego, you can hit the beaches,the mountains, the desert, or go out clubbing in Hollywood,” he says. Home to the GettyMuseum, the Walt Disney Concert Hall andmore live theater than on Broadway, LA is thecenter for cultural diversity, art, music, religion,commerce and politics for the Pacific Rim.

In addition, as one of the largest biotechnologycenters in the world, Southern California has it all—and we’re right in the middle of it. But KGI’s reach extends beyond California’s borders—our corporate partners come from allover the United States—from Boston and NewYork to Des Moines and Seattle. Our alumnihave chosen to live all over the world. As youcan see, with your MBS, your opportunities are borderless.

human chemistryThe last thing Suzanne Kocian or Tom Lester,both MBS ’04, had on their minds upon arrivingat KGI was getting “involved” with anythingother than their academic and career goals. Butthe house Tom shared with classmates became a magnet for brainstorming sessions and socialactivity. “I started hanging out there and Tomand I just hit it off,” says Suzanne. The couplehave been together ever since.

Not many students connect like Suzanne andTom, but our community is close knit, respectfuland cares deeply about our student-derived core values. Trust is essential in a project-basedprogram. As Tom states about his TMP experi-ence “My teammates and I relied on each other to do our share of the work independently and then we worked together to cement thepieces together for a final team report—exactlylike industry. Working with teammates in other disciplines also prepared me to work withresearchers, engineers, and other functions indrug development.” Tom leveraged this valuableKGI team experience into a position as AssociateProgram Manager at BioMarin Pharmaceutical.

Suzanne combined her marketing and technicalbackground into a new position at BioformMedical as the Clinical Education MarketingManager. Suzanne says “I work with both salesand product management, as well as interactwith the research and regulatory departments.KGI prepared me to thrive in an environmentwhere things change quickly and where the typesof projects that cross my desk are so varied.”

BEYOND THE SCIENCE

into the gapI often tell students that this is one of the most exciting times to be entering the bioscience industry. There is great science going on andalmost daily discoveries with the potential to make a real difference inpublic health, food production and the preservation of the environment.But despite this potential, there are not enough new products entering the development pipeline, and, when they do, there aren’t enough peoplewho can take them to the point where companies can manufacture andcommercialize them. The industry refers to this as ‘the gap’—the difficultyin moving scientific discoveries to a bedside product.

A major reason the “gap” exists is because there aren’t enough peoplewho combine the necessary technical expertise with a solid understandingof the business, regulatory and intellectual property environment withinthe life sciences industry. This understanding is necessary to determinewhich technologies are appropriate to move forward. As a consequence,the venture capital community has stopped funding early stage projects—the risks of failure are too high and time commitment too long. In asense, we are educating KGI students to fill “the gap” by preparing themwith the scientific skills and the business judgment that is needed. Whenthey leave KGI, our graduates will be poised to seize those opportunities.

KGI graduates will be the pioneers that fashion a new business model.They will create and commercialize therapeutics and medical devices to address the needs of an aging population. They will develop new diagnostics for identifying complex and rare diseases, leading us to morepreventive and personalized medicine. They will harness new technologiesto produce new foods and fuels needed to feed a growing population and economy. And as they forge this new way of combining business andscience, KGI’s graduates will make decisions that are not only economicallysound, but ethical, responsible and provide maximum benefit for all of society.

KGI’s innovative program mixes science, engineering and the basics of business, finance and project management in a way that’s truly integrated.KGI is uniquely positioned to develop leaders who are up to the challengesand opportunities presented by this exciting industry at this history-making time.

If you think you’re ready to take on “the gap,” I invite you to join us.
