Biomanufacturing
Summary:
Biomanufacturing is a
term used to describe
a product-oriented
industry based upon
the fields of Biology,
Biochemistry,
Chemistry, many
Engineering
disciplines,
Microbiology and
Physics. One way to
describe this industry
is that it is Bioscience-
related production
and manufacturing.
Some examples of
Biomanufacturing
products are: Aspirin,
Band-Aids, Insulin,
prosthetic limbs,
Visine and Vitamins.
Because of the strong
health-care emphasis
of this industry, it is
governed by strict
federal guidelines and
regulations. The joint
Salt Lake Community
College (SLCC) and
Granite Technical
Institute (GTI)
Biomanufacturing
Program has been
structured to provide
students with a
rigorous and relevant
education in the
scientific, technical
and regulatory
