Empowering Bioscience Educators Through Professional Development
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR BIOSCIENCE EDUCATORS
Biotility provides several types of professional development for secondary and postsecondary life science educators, designed to help integrate critical workplace competencies and skills into bioscience curricula. Biotility aims to expand awareness of the drug development and manufacturing career pathway, to increase confidence in the drug development and approval process, and to integrate workplace competencies and skills into coursework, thereby increasing the talent pool required to support rapid response and ongoing discovery, testing, and manufacture of therapeutics.
The Industrial Biotechnology Teacher Experience (IBTE) is an asynchronous program developed for instructors of biotechnology courses, biomedical courses, or any science course in which biotechnology is featured. Participants will develop an understanding of the departmental roles, careers, and criteria associated with working in the highly regulated biotechnology industry, and will learn to apply common techniques used in laboratory settings for the manufacture and testing of products.
