Experiential Program in Drug Development

In 2020, CIS launched the Experiential Program in Drug Development (EPDD) for MBA and graduate students. Led by Brian Wulff, PhD, The EPDD offers firsthand experience in the drug development process through interaction and support provided to university and external partners. Thanks to a generous gift from the Harry T. Mangurian, Jr. Foundation, this experiential program draws upon the breadth of expertise at Ohio State by strengthening the relationship between Fisher, CIS and the Wexner Medical Center, a partnership that is centered by the strong connection between CIS and the Drug Development Institute (DDI).
