NSF-ATE DUE Grant # Bioscience Industrial Fellowship Project Mission: The Bioscience Industrial Fellowship Project de-mystifies the bioscience industry by developing and implementing an innovative professional development model that utilizes multi-institutional partnerships to enable high-impact instructors to further understand industry principles and prepare them to guide their students toward careers in today’s bioscience workforce.. Partners : Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM), Biomanufacturing Research Institute and Technology Enterprise (BRITE) at North Carolina Central University, the BioNetwork’s Pharmaceutical and Analytical Training Lab and Capstone Center, The Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at UNCG, the David H. Murdock Research Institute (DHMRI), Commercialization at Wake Forest Innovation, Biogen Idec, Targacept, Patheon (formerly, Banner Pharma), TransTech Pharma, and Tengion. "BIFP has now given me the tools to share biosciences with my students. I can now answer, with confidence, the question ‘why do I need to know this?’. I am excited to share this experience and the new applications with both my students and colleagues."
