CELDi membership through the Initiative for Research in Biopharmaceutical Operations (IRBO) provides a wide range of benefits:

• Member-specified projects utilizing the expertise and resources of a Berkeley-based IRBO team working with your managers to solve important operations problems
• Shared fundamental research results from other IRBO biopharmaceutical industry partners, as well as other CELDi academic partners at all of the CELDi member universities, provides tremendous leveraging of each member's research dollars (ex., royalty-free license access to over $5M in previous research)
• Access to generalized biotech industry work products and other operation-related work products such as software and technology developed by other CELDi academic partners through pooled research funds
• Membership in the IRBO Industrial Advisory Board and the CELDi Industrial Advisory Board provides opportunity to interact with biotech industry leaders, as well as other industrial leaders and researchers in logistics, distribution, and supply chain and provides direction to generalized CELDi work products
• Access to top students at UC Berkeley as well as other CELDi member universities enables recruiting the best-prepared graduates

How to join:

An IRBO membership begins with discussing operational needs and issues with the IRBO CELDi Site Directors, Phil Kaminsky.  Phil will work with you to ensure that the appropriate match is made in terms of research area and expectations, and will arrange a meeting to discuss IRBO and CELDi in more detail.
