Support up-and-coming biotechnology students through a collaborative capstone project with the University of Maryland Global Campus. Rather than asking for mentors to these students, this 12-week program puts less strain on company leaders and asks students to apply their knowledge in real time as they advise Maryland companies and provide an avenue for troubleshooting any problems that may be occurring in the company. The capstone is inviting biotech and biopharma companies, particularly those in the startup or pre-startup phases, to join this collaborative experience by filling out this form. Read about recent success stories in this article.

 

For more info, please contact - Dr. Robin Searles-Adenegan, the Program Director of Biology, Biotechnology and Lab Management (robin.searles-adenegan@umgc.edu) or Dr. Amrita Madabushi, Professor of Biotechnology (amrita.madabushi@umgc.edu).
