This three-day short course (“Characterization of Cell Therapy Products by Flow and Laser Force Cytometry”) targets multiple levels of current and future workforce. The course is designed to provide the fundamentals of two cell characterization technologies (flow cytometry, laser force cytology) in relation to cell therapy. This course has two main components: “Lectures” and “Hands-on Experiments” (approximately 50/50) and is designed to offer a curriculum heavily weighted towards a hands-on approach, and focused on biomanufacturing and QA needs.
This project served to address the needs of community colleges and their students, incumbent industry workers seeking to up-grade or broaden their skills, and B.S. seekers and graduates seeking stackable credentials. The project aimed to: 1) expand/develop partnerships, in particular articulation agreements, with community colleges, 2) develop on-line certificates for advanced training, with an emphasis on knowledge and problem-solving skills, and 3) establish Externships for Community College students and incumbent workers to provide intensive industry-relevant lab experiences.
NIIMBL bioLOGIC™ is a project-based learning program designed to be easily integrated into an existing class structure, allowing the classroom instructor to accommodate their own learning objectives. During the program, students will work in teams of 4-6 to: Identify a real-world problem, conceptualize an advanced product solution, create a business model around the product, and build a pitch deck and 3-4 minute pitch they will deliver to a panel of representatives in a professional style setting.
RAPID's credential program provides the current and future workforce with the opportunity to demonstrate their competency in process intensification and modular chemical process intensification (MCPI) concepts. The credential has three focus tracks - Reaction, Separation, and Heat & Mass Transfer - and is valid for two years, requiring 4 credits of continuing education to renew. The five courses for each track will equip students with tools to add greater value to their organization by reviewing fundamentals of PI, process design and modeling, and identifying opportunities for increased
