The Associate of Science in Biotechnology Manufacturing Technician program equips graduates with essential skills for careers as production technicians in the biotech sector. These technicians handle and maintain equipment involved in producing protein-based pharmaceuticals. The curriculum includes cultivating and managing bacterial, yeast, and mammalian cell cultures, along with protein extraction techniques. Participants will master good manufacturing practices (GMP) through documentation maintenance and adherence to operational protocols. The program also covers industry quality control standards and regulatory compliance. Since working with live cultures requires flexibility, students must be prepared to adapt to varying schedules.
