Preparing Biotechnology Leaders

At the heart of the Shirley Ann Jackson, Ph.D. Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies is our full commitment to preparing the next generation of groundbreaking scientists who will lead us into a healthier future.

Working side by side with innovative and inventive faculty, our students are involved in vigorous investigations into everything from regenerative materials to next-generation biopharmaceuticals.

Both undergraduate and graduate students are exposed to cutting-edge methodologies that harness the power of existing biotechnologies, while pushing the envelope to create promising new ones. By advancing the boundaries of scientific knowledge, our students emerge as fully realized biotechnology leaders who will devise and create solutions to the world’s most pressing health challenges.
