What kinds of skills do entry level employees need in the new fields of regenerative medicine and regenerative medicine biomanufacturing? InnovATE BIO team members Russ Read and Thomas Tubon, and InnovATEBIO program leader Sengyong Lee, tackled this question in a new article with co-authors Gary Green, Joshua Hunsberger, and Anthony Atala.

The article discusses basic employability skills, core bioscience skills, and regenerative medicine biomanufacturing technical skills. This work is helpful for faculty who are designing or revamping their curriculum.

Stem cell research holds great promise for improved healthcare and regenerative medicine. However because the field is so new, instructors need help in learning what to teach and how to teach it.

Funding from the National Science Foundation's Advanced Technology Education program allowed teachers to learn about this new area through workshops last summer at Alamance Community College, Austin Community College (ACC), and Bluegrass Community and Technical College (BCTC).

Bill Woodruff, retired department head of Alamance's biotechnology program, taught professors from around the country about stem cell technology, both its potential and the practical aspects needed... Read more
