Hi,
I am a post-doctoral research fellow (life sciences/oncology) and am interested in getting into the biotechnology industry. I see Biotech investment/consulting as a very interesting area to pursue. With some readings and talking to friends, I realise that having a atleast level 1 cleared would be helpful to step my foot in this area. I have very basic understanding of accounting and finances (had taken some courses in basic accounting, managerial finanace, fundamental economics) just enough to be able to read the accounting statements, try to play and interpret with ratios, etc. Nothing complicated; and most importantly no work experience in the field of finance/economics. With someone of my background, what is a wise thing to do: take the level 1 in Dec (2007) or next June (2008). I haven't yet started and have no idea how hte curriculum looks. And what are the best study materials to start?
Really would appreciate any input.
Thanks,
