The Center for Biotechnology is
a New York State Center for Advanced Technology in Medical Biotechnology.
It is supported by the New York State Office Foundation for Science, Technology
and Innovation (NYSTAR).
The Center is one of fourteen state-funded Centers for Advanced
Technology located throughout New York State, which capitalizes
on the resources of New York’s academic research institutions
for the purpose of economic development. Strategic initiatives that
create infrastructure for broad-based bioscience industry (biotechnology,
pharmaceutical, medical devices, life systems) development have
been a cornerstone of the Center’s success.
A critical component of the Center’s multifaceted economic
development strategy includes the implementation of a comprehensive
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE
that is designed to meet the education and training needs of New
York’s bioscience industry. Many of the Center’s workforce
programs have been the result of a proactive response to the evolving
needs and demands of the bioscience industry. The programs address
the needs of industry as well as provide both undergraduate and
graduate students with opportunities that enhance student learning
and promote career exploration.
