GeneEd knows the Business of Science

GeneEd's E-Learning Expertise Spans the Drug Development Pipeline

GeneEd possesses the e-learning industry's most comprehensive clinical, medical, scientific, and life science industry expertise required to deliver the mission-critical training and education needed for life science organizations to successfully accelerate the drug development pipeline. This leads to more products, and ultimately more sales.


GeneEd was founded by scientists from the life science industry, and employs Ph.D. scientists at every step of its e-learning courseware development process, including a highly qualified scientific advisory board. GeneEd has also established a Scientific Content Provider (SCP) Program, consisting of world authorities and domain experts, to assist with validation and accuracy in the disparate fields that GeneEd provides e-learning.

Validated Content

GeneEd has established a Scientific Content Providers (SCPs) program in order to identify top domain experts who can assist GeneEd with courseware development. SCPs provide quality, up-to-date content for courses, help in the creation and storyboarding process, and assess and validate the completed courses before their release to the public. SCPs also serve to cross-check each others' courses, and bring access to their colleagues and laboratories who can test and certify courses before their release.
