Happy Thanksgiving Message from ICPD

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Dustie, Scott and Elisabeth wish to thank you for your involvement with ICPD Programs. As you know, the International Center for Professional Development was established to provide the Scientist Mentoring & Diversity Program (SMDP) for diverse students and postdocs pursuing careers in the biotech, medtech and consumer health industries.

ICPD has also established the Africa focused, continent-wide entrepreneurial ecosystem, the ELISA Business Network.

None of this would be possible without the generous support of our colleagues, partners and the many sponsor companies that fund ICPD and help to support and grow our programs. We hope you will continue to keep us in mind as you shape your plans for diversity and global engagement for 2023. Or if you're a student or Africa focused entrepreneur, we invite you to get involved with an ICPD program and help us reach others. Meanwhile, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and a wonderful holiday season.
