Science Masters Program in Biomanufacturing

北卡罗来纳州立大学生物制造科学硕士项目生物制造是应用基本的生物技术和工程原理来生产人类药物、酶、食品配料、燃料和新型生物材料。成功的生产要求未来的行业领导者在产品安全、道德、FDA监管合规、项目管理和合理的商业决策方面进行培训。该SMP in Biomanufacing(SMPB)将招收有才华的美国学生攻读第一个跨学科的生物制造硕士学位，该学位融合了研究生的技术、科学、研究和商业技能。学生将在24个月内接受培训，课程包括为期8周的高级实验室课程，内容包括符合FDA的现行良好制造规范(CGMP)生物制造方法、财务、会计、项目管理、以行业为重点的研究项目、专业技能培训和工业实习生经验。CGMP实验室课程将在新的82,500平方米内教授。英国《金融时报》投资5000万美元在北卡罗来纳州立大学(NCSU)建立金叶生物制造培训和教育中心(BTEC)。BTEC是美国最大的学术生物制造培训机构。它包括上游发酵、下游回收、蛋白质提纯、分析技术和无菌处理的过程规模模拟cGMP教学设施。来自三所学院的教师将教授SMPB学生：工程学、农业和生命科学以及管理学。多学科的SMPB研究生课程已经被批准用于使用BTEC最先进的工业生物制造设备进行小规模(30升)和大规模(300升)操作的培训。该课程还包括全球生物制药监管合规课程，以及由NCSU Jenkins管理研究生院教授的以生物科学为重点的MBA课程。该项目通过协调该行业未来领导者在物理科学、工程、商业和管理方面的教育，为美国生物制造业培养更具智力、性别和文化多样性的劳动力。这些劳动力将促进总部位于美国的行业在快速变化的经济环境中有效竞争。这一计划将为其他致力于支持当地工业的大学提供全国示范。

"This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)."Science Masters Program in BiomanufacturingNorth Carolina State UniversityBiomanufacturing is the application of fundamental biotechnology and engineering principles to produce human medicines, enzymes, food ingredients, fuels and novel biomaterials. Successful production requires that future industry leaders are trained in product safety, ethics, FDA regulatory compliance, project management and sound business decisions. This SMP in Biomanufacturing (SMPB) will recruit talented US students into the first cross-disciplinary Master's of Biomanufacturing degree integrating graduate "hands-on" technical, scientific, research, and business skills. Students will be trained in 24 months in a curriculum that includes 8-week advanced laboratory courses in FDA compliant current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) biomanufacturing methods, finance, accounting, project management, an industry-focused research project, professional skills training, and an industrial intern experience. The cGMP laboratory courses will be taught in the new 82,500 sq. ft. $50 million Golden LEAF Biomanufacturing Training and Education Center (BTEC) at North Carolina State University (NCSU). BTEC is the largest academic biomanufacturing training facility in the US. It includes process-scale simulated cGMP teaching facilities for upstream fermentation, downstream recovery, protein purification, analytical techniques, and aseptic processing. Faculty from three colleges will teach SMPB students: Engineering, Agriculture and Life Sciences, and Management. The multidisciplinary SMPB graduate curriculum is already approved for training in small-scale (30 liter) and large-scale (300 liter) operations using BTEC state-of-the-art industrial biomanufacturing equipment. The curriculum also includes global biopharmaceutical regulatory compliance courses combined with bioscience-focused MBA courses taught by the NCSU Jenkins Graduate School of Management.This program is preparing a more intellectually, gender, and culturally diverse workforce for the U.S. biomanufacturing industry through the coordinated education of future leaders in this industry in the physical sciences, engineering, business, and management. This workforce will facilitate U.S.-based industry to compete effectively in a fast-changing economic environment. This program will serve as a national model for other universities engaged in efforts to bolster local industry.
