| + | == BIOMAN conference on MCCC presents latest biotechnology and == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>Participants represented a range of expertise and experience, from first-time attendees like Jeremy Carreiro, a laboratory technician from Community College of Rhode Island, to Professor William H. Woodruff, Biotechnology Department Head at Alamance Community College, Graham, N.C. | ||
| + | |||
| + | "This has been a great experience for me," said Carreiro,[http://wiki.premier-samedi.org/index.php/Utilisateur:Benniekern3#10_thoughts_for_a_Sunday_following_TCU.E2.80.99s_37 10 thoughts for a Sunday following TCU’s 37], who plans to include the material he learned in the Microalgae to Biodiesel hands-on workshop in the program at Rhode Island. "I hope to attend every year." | ||
| + | |||
| + | "As a presenter at this conference in the past, I thoroughly enjoy sharing new things to help others upgrade and improve their programs," Woodruff said. "As a participant, I always learn something new to take back to the program." | ||
| + | |||
| + | In three keynote presentations,[http://kid.daaboo.net/wiki/index.php/Utilisateur:Benniekern5#As_popularity_of_energy_drinks_spikes.2C_so_do_concerns As popularity of energy drinks spikes, so do concerns], scientists from local pharmaceutical companies talked about new and longstanding initiatives and the training required for the workforce. Tours of three local companies,[http://wiki.adaptivesoft.com.br/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio:Benniekern0#Ohio_man_sells_old_comic_to_help_fund_wedding_0 Ohio man sells old comic to help fund wedding 0], GlaxoSmithKline, Janssen and Merck, allowed participants to see processes firsthand and speak directly to the scientists. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Additionally,[http://www.ibaraki-radio.net/mori-clock/index.php/%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:benniekern4#Egypts_Morsi_to_be_tried_for_inciting_violence Egypts Morsi to be tried for inciting violence], the conference's hands-on workshops were designed and presented as a module that the faculty could insert into their existing programs. The workshops were divided into three tracks. The beginners track allowed less experienced participants to mimic the biomanufacturing process by cloning and expressing the taq polymerase gene in E coli. In the intermediate track, participants grew microalgae in photobioreactors for the production and extraction of biodiesel. In the advanced track, participants isolated adult stem cells and differentiated mouse stem cells into various cell types. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Other workshops included quality control microbiology, bioethanol production and an immunology workshop. | ||
| + | |||
| + | These topics are directly related to courses taught at Montgomery County Community College in the Biotechnology, Biomanufacturing and Molecular Techniques degree programs. Several of the workshop modules will be incorporated into the courses in the coming year. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For the fall 2013 semester,[http://rgb0.com.br/wiki/Usu%C3%A1rio:Benniekern3#Why_the_Carolina_Panthers_Won.27t_Make_the_2013_NFL_Playo Why the Carolina Panthers Won't Make the 2013 NFL Playo], two biotechnology courses are offered: Introduction to Biotechnology (BIT120) and Basic Techniques and Instrumentation in Biotechnology (BIT123). Both an Applied Associate in Science and an Associate in Science degree program are offered. Additionally, a certificate program in biotechnology and biomanufacturing is currently being developed. | ||
| + | |||
| + | According to the U.S. Department Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job prospects for biological technicians is expected to grow by 14 percent through 2020, and the prospects for biochemists and biophysicists is expected to increase by 31 percent. | ||
