Meet the DBX Interns! Ashton M. is a senior at South Dakota State University. She’s majoring in biology with a specialization in secondary education and a minor in Spanish. "When I applied for the internship, it was exciting because the company was so new and I wasn't sure what to expect. When I started, it was a bit overwhelming because as it turned out, I didn't know much about the world of bioprocessing. That's the best part about this internship- we are here to learn (about our interests, lab start-up, bioprocessing, new pieces of equipment, etc.). Every day is something different, and I am excited to see what we will be able to do to help other scientists bring their products to life."
