MIT Professional Education is excited to introduce a new Professional Certificate Program in Biotechnology & Life Sciences. Building on the existing research and innovation taking place on the MIT campus and in Boston's biotechnology community, this certificate program aims to provide professionals in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical fields the opportunity to bring a more holistic approach to new and existing technologies back to their companies.
Material informatics is transforming the way materials are discovered, understood, developed, selected, and used. In this condensed course, you will engage in interactive lectures, clinics, and labs designed to help you learn, design, and apply modern material informatics tools and large-scale multiscale modeling—with the ultimate goal of helping you to speed up your design process and implement cost effective rapid discovery and prototyping in your organization.

This course is designed to help you learn and apply advanced data tools for IIoT and smart manufacturing. The curriculum ranges from foundational concepts to in-depth, hands-on activities using production data, and covers a variety of cutting-edge approaches such as deep reinforcement learning control, encryption for data outsourcing, and predictive data analytics algorithms.
This comprehensive course provides up-to-date assessments, case studies, and important knowledge on issues that affect you and your organization — response organizations, cyber security, supply chain, crisis leadership, artificial intelligence, crisis communications, news media, social media, and all levels of government response — from the experts involved with these efforts. We also examine strategies for program, job, and career improvement. You will have the opportunity to interact with our lecturers and with your peers from industry, academia, and government. Participants can also practice what is learned: the course concludes with a highly interactive crisis simulation in which participants take active roles in a multiple event crisis, including a realistic news media briefing.
