RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – Even amidst a pandemic, North Carolina’s biopharma market is booming.
In just the last few months, companies like KBI Biopharma and Thermo Fisher Scientific announced expansion projects, bringing more than a thousand new jobs to the state.
Could one of those be for you? The Bioprocess Development Group (BPD) thinks so.
On Thursday, Jan. 28, the group is hosting a virtual symposium, “BioGrow: Training and Education Across North Carolina,” to get the word out to anyone interested in a career in biopharmaceuticals.
“Attendees will learn about local training opportunities that include short courses and certificate programs, associate’s programs, bachelor’s programs, and graduate programs available in North Carolina,” said the North Carolina Biotechnology Center’s Life Science Economic Development Associate Director Katie Stember, Ph.D., who is helping to organize the event.
