Advanced Biotechnology and Natural Health Product Research Group

Sarnia-Lambton是一个重要的北美石化和炼油综合体，用于生产石油和石化产品，塑料，合成橡胶和化学品。为了使当地经济多样化，已开始努力建立新的工业集群，特别侧重于可持续化学品和绿色化学品。“生物混合化学集群”将农业和化学能力结合起来，生产可再生和绿色材料和化学品。为了支持这一集群，兰顿学院成立了生物工业过程研究中心（BPRC）和工业材料开发中心（CIMD），以支持生物为重点的公司开发新的和优化现有的产品，材料，技术和工艺。 在与这些中心合作的众多中小企业中，15个侧重于利用可持续和/或绿色材料开发和生产天然保健产品，以及利用先进生物技术开发创新产品。 此外，随着大麻合法化，创造了研究和开发新产品和技术的创新需求。兰顿建议通过建立由陈宝玲博士领导的先进生物技术和天然保健品研究小组，提高应用研究和开发能力，并实现该地区发展北美第一个生物混合化学集群的愿景。 博士陈宝玲在兰顿学院通过领导许多合作研究项目以及管理BPRC展示了她强大的学术和研究背景。通过IRCC的位置，她将建立一个先进的生物技术和天然保健品研究小组，并导致七个承诺的合作项目与其他人在发展这个备受追捧的研究小组。

Sarnia-Lambton is a significant North American petrochemical and refining complex for the production of petroleum and petrochemical products, plastics, synthetic rubber and chemicals. To diversify the local economy, an effort was launched to build new industrial clusters, specifically focused on sustainable chemicals and green chemistry. The "Bio Hybrid Chemistry Cluster", combines agriculture and chemical capacity for producing renewable and green-based materials and chemicals. To support this cluster, Lambton College founded the Bioindustrial Process Research Centre (BPRC) and the Centre for Industrial Material Development (CIMD) to support bio focused companies to develop new and optimize existing products, materials, technologies and processes. Amongst the numerous SMEs that these centres have collaborated with, 15 focused on development and production of natural health products from sustainable and/or green materials as well as those using advanced biotechnology to develop innovative products. Also, with legalization of Cannabis an innovation need for research and development for new products and technologies has been created. Lambton proposes to enhance the Applied Research and Development capacity and the region's vision to grow North America's first Bio Hybrid Chemistry Cluster by establishing an Advanced Biotechnology and Natural Health Products Research Group led by Dr. Baoling Chen. Dr. Baoling Chen has demonstrated her strong academic and research background at Lambton College through leading many collaborative research projects as well as managing the BPRC. Through the IRCC position, she will establish an Advanced Biotechnology and Natural Health Products Research Group and lead seven committed collaborative projects with others in the development for this highly sought after research group.
