National Center for Therapeutics Manufacturing (NCTM)

Please join us at NCTM for another ISPE South Central Chapter Educational Event to learn more about HVAC filtration and Annex 1 environmental monitoring! This event will be simulcast to sites in Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, and Grapevine. Dinner and drinks will be provided. 🍝 🥂 Students can attend for free! 🎓 Register now by visiting the site below. https://lnkd.in/gMMHe_M6 #NCTM #TEES #tamu #ISPE #biotechnology #biomanufacturing #pharmaceuticals #seminar #networking

We were delighted to host Nkaeye for our hands-on mRNA manufacturing training! We hope this valuable experience with IVT reactions, encapsulation, formulation and more prove to be useful as Thapelo enters into Africa's growing mRNA manufacturing industry. Thank you Maravai LifeSciences for making her participation possible! #NCTM #TEESresearch #tamu #mRNA #biomanufacturing

Are you working on a potential breakthrough in the world of biotechnology? Consider attending an info session for the Gulf Coast Consortia REACH! Info session details are below, hope to see you there! #NCTM #TEESresearch #tamu #GCC #biotech

Our next offering of the Advanced Upstream training is slated for September 23-27. Interested in deepening your understanding of upstream processing? Our Advanced Upstream course dives deep into process development and optimization for both fermentation and cell culture. During this course you'll operate bioreactors of different scales, up to a 50L single use stirred tank vessel, learn about media optimization, feeding strategies, cover cell banking, harvest operations, and more.

There are now at least 3 Bioscience Core Skills Institute (BCSI) certified evaluators in the Bryan/College Station area, ready to evaluate individuals and assess their biotechnology skills! Visit bcsi.bio for more information

NCTM is well equipped to assist in your research projects! We have pilot scale bioreactors and production scale chromatography and ultrafiltration skids. Visit our website to view the list of available equipment: https://lnkd.in/gKtnKfwW

Last week we hosted the first BioFORCE summer camp since 2019! We hosted 11 high schoolers from across Texas to introduce them to the world of biomanufacturing! Students learned about the drug development pipeline with a focus on the manufacturing side of things. Activities included cleanroom gowning, aseptic transfers in a BSC, bacterial transformation, optical density measurements, eukaryotic cell counting, chromatography, and more! We want to thank the Sacchettini lab & Dr. Krieger for allowing our campers to tour their drug discovery facilities and Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies for giving a tour of their manufacturing site. I'd like to thank our careers panel participants for illustrating the variety of positions and journeys within this industry! Thank you Stefan, Marc, Steven, Baley, and Patricia for inspiring these students. This camp ignited their interest in the biomanufacturing industry and we hope some of them choose to be part of the future workforce :) #NCTM #TEESresearch #tamu #Bioforce #stemcamp #biomanufacturing #biotech #summercamp

NCTM is thrilled to announce we've been awarded a NSF ExLENT grant! We are partnering with MSIs from around the U.S. to offer hands-on biomanufacturing training to students who would otherwise be unable to access this kind of education. We will be hosting 3 classes this summer: Biopharma Bootcamp, cGMP Biomanufacturing of Vectors for Gene Therapy, and Hands-on Manufacturing of mRNA Vaccines & Therapeutics. We're looking forward to meeting the students and furthering their biomanufacturing journeys! https://lnkd.in/giH4gy5A #NCTM #TEESresearch #tamu #NSF #ExLENT #biomanufacturing #training

So excited to partner with BioTC Oklahoma as they stand up their new biomanufacturing training center! If you are interested in having NCTM jumpstart your biomanufacturing training program please reach out! :)

NCTM team members Baley and Patricia had a great time networking with other industry professionals and workforce development colleagues at the annual NIIMBL National Meeting in DC this week. Baley presented on two NCTM programs to highlight some of the advances workforce development initiatives are making: 1) Building testbeds at MSI's (Minority Serving Institutions) for biomanufacturing training and 2) the new Hands-on Manufacturing of mRNA Vaccines & Therapeutics course at NCTM. As always it was great catching up with old friends and meeting with new collaborators! Can't wait for next year! 😊 #NCTM #teesresearch #tamu #workforcedevelopment #biomanufacturing #NIIMBL
