About
The YBPS Equity Research Club (YERC) aims to bring together MBA/graduate/medical students and postdocs, who have an interest in learning how to invest in biotech and pharma companies. The YERC works to bridge the gap between natural sciences and finance with a series of seminars and collaborative learning.

We meet twice a month throughout the academic year. (Please see schedule below.)
