In this workshop, participants will be introduced to experiments and techniques used in the upstream and downstream processes for monoclonal antibody production using NISTCHO cells. Two approaches will be taken; a low-tech approach for cell growth and mAb purification, and a high-tech approach using process-controlled bioreactors for cell growth and AKTA FPLC systems for protein purification. Biochemical QC techniques for determining purity, and titer will also be covered. Discussions and presentations will cover approaches to incorporating this material into courses and programs and examples ...
The proposed National Science Foundation project, Needed Math for a Workforce in Transition (NMWT), is seeking innovative community college faculty. If funded, this project will bring together teams of math and technical program educators with local industry professionals to co-create classroom-ready, real-world instructional materials that integrate mathematics into authentic manufacturing ...
I recently read a report that gave me a whole new perspective on how some people perceive the biotechnology/biomanufacturing field in the United States of America. The report, " Charting the Future of Biotechnology", was published in April 2025 by the National Security for Commission on Emerging Biotechnology ( NSCEB) ...

MiraCosta College is a pioneering leader with its program in biomanufacturing. Anticipating the needs of the expanding bioscience hub in North San Diego County, the school created a bachelor's program in biomanufacturing to help fill the workforce needs of the present, and the future. The college reaches students who are ...
Big Happenings at MassBay! The MassBay Center for Biomanufacturing Education and Workforce Training (CBEWT) and the MassBay Center for Therapeutics and Genomics Training (CTGT) have opened. Funding of more than $1.25 million dollars, provided by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center (MLSC), went into these amazing ...
We are very grateful for the support from Congressman Brad Sherman (CA-32) for our current efforts to develop a Biomanufacturing Baccalaureate degree program at Los Angeles Pierce College. LA Pierce College (LAPC) received $2 million Community Project fund backed by our congress. We'll use this support to acquire Biomanufacturing equipment ...
Welcome to the InnovATEBIO 2023 series of virtual ATE project talks. This series features leaders in biotechnology workforce education from across the US sharing their work on exciting projects funded by the National Science Foundation's Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program. The ATE program supports the education of technicians for the high-technology fields that drive our nation's economy. An interesting aspect of this week's talks is that both ATE projects seek to establish their own version of core facilities. Unlike most core facilities, which are found in companies, research ...
A recent Forbes article found that 25 U.S. states allow community colleges to offer bachelor's degrees---as long as they met a concrete need and did not compete with the state 4 -year colleges. This alternative avenue to a 4-year degree is helping community colleges play a key role in meeting ...
October 7th is National Manufacturing Day. To celebrate, three InnovATEBIO members talked about their work on biomanufacturing and biomanufacturing education. Topics and Speakers: 1. New kits for teaching biomanufacturing concepts in high school Dr. Jan Chalupny, Shoreline Community College, Cell ...
