Hi guys,

At the “Meet the Author” event featuring Ron Cohen, an attendee asked if Ron could supply his reading list of books for those looking to learn more about starting up a biotech firm. I’ve pasted it below. Hopefully you get this before you head off to the beach this summer. Because to me, nothing says summer like a well-worn copy of “Growing Pains: Transitioning from an Entrepreneurship to a Professionally Managed Firm.”

Ron Cohen’s list.

• Alternate Careers in Science: Leaving the Ivory Tower (Cynthia Robbins-Roth, Ph.D.)

• From Alchemy to IPO: The Business of Biotechnology (Cynthia Robbins-Roth, Ph.D.)

• The Billion Dollar Molecule (Barry Werth)

• Gene Dreams (Robert Teitelman)

• Growing Pains: Transitioning from an Entrepreneurship to a Professionally Managed Firm (Eric G. Flamholtz, Yvonne Randle)

And just FYI, Cynthia Robbins-Roth still writes on the biotech industry, most notably as a columnist for the daily publication BioWorld. (bioworld.com) Though I believe most of her content on that site is subscription protected, in which case I’ve helped you not at all.

Happy reading,
Brady Huggett
