Biotech Community Support is Essential

To develop educational programs for the next generation of biotechnology leaders, we rely on close interactions with STEM professionals in academia, industry, non-profits and government.

Partner support takes many forms, including:

  • Hosting on-site, paid internships for Biotechnology Program Ph.D. students
  • Sharing research discoveries and biotech career tips at public seminars during the academic year
  • Donating funds to support student training and professional development activities
  • Providing in-kind donations of reagents,  laboratory equipment and other supplies in support of K-14 BioTech SYSTEM outreach
  • Co-sponsoring workshops, short courses, contests and events

To date, partner support has enabled:

  • Engagement in over 800 public seminars for the campus community
  • Professional development of over 300 Ph.D. students
  • Informal science education for thousands of K-14 teachers, parents and students through hands-on experiments, science contests and seminars
  • Formal science education in bioinformatics and genomics for secondary and post-secondary teachers via summer workshops
