Careers and career pathways in biotechnology
By Todd Smith -- Mon, 08/26/2019 - 13:54 -- Summer is about road construction. Summer is also a good time for website construction. In that spirit, we updated Biotech Careers and added many improvements in content layout and information integration.  Major updates include new layouts for content and improved ways of showing related content. Other changes and fixes improve the site's look and feel. We also improved how we recognize our sponsors, because without their support, this site would not be possible.  Read the full Biotech Careers blog
Beaker containing green fluorescent protein
By Todd Smith -- Thu, 06/27/2019 - 10:26 -- Many biotechnology products such as insulin, industrial enzymes, foods, vitamins, and many others are produced by biomanufacturing processes that involve fermentation. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a common model system because it is easy to follow through the process, hence it has become the "Hello World" of biomanufacturing.  Read the full Biotech Careers blog
3D Bioprinter
By Todd Smith -- Tue, 05/28/2019 - 11:12 -- Biomedical devices combine bio-engineering with medical devices. They can be developed by integrating biomaterials into classical medical devices or be entirely biology derived as in the cases of personalized immunotherapies and regenerative medicine. Biomedical devices are ushering in a new era of biotechnology job demand.  Read the full Biotech Careers blog
By Anonymous -- Mon, 05/06/2019 - 13:25 -- In early April 2019, the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB, Settle WA) hosted its 18th annual symposium.

Automated pipetting
By Todd Smith -- Thu, 01/03/2019 - 16:50 -- Biotechnology manufacturing is changing from a one-size-fits-all paradigm to single batches of individualized therapeutics and tissues that are tailored to individuals. The new manufacturing processes require large numbers of technicians, which is increasing biotech employment opportunities.  The Skills for Biomedical Emerging Technology Applications (NSF-ATE DUE #1800909) is a three-year endeavor to develop education recommendations for the next generation of biomanufacturing for national use by educators, industry, researchers, and employers.  Read the full Biotech Careers blog
By Anonymous -- Thu, 12/06/2018 - 07:20 -- As previously discussed, immunoprofiling is the quantitative measurement of antigen receptors (ARs; antibodies or T-cell receptors) in a sample.
