位于奥尔巴尼药学与健康科学学院(ACPHS)的斯塔克生物制药教育与培训中心(CBET)被选为国家生物制药制造创新研究所(NIIMBL)经验项目的三家机构之一.
The NIIMBL eXperience program 旨在为未被充分代表的少数族裔学生(urm)在完成大学一年级或二年级的学习后，提供一瞥生物制药领域的机会. ACPHS will welcome its 15-student cohort in June 2023. 自2019年3月该项目启动以来，这是NIIMBL首次采用区域托管方式开展该项目.
“NIIMBL体验@ ACPHS为我们学院提供了一个绝佳的机会，可以扩大其影响力，并展示学生可以在生物制药领域追求职业的方式,” said ACPHS President and Professor, Toyin Tofade, MS, PharmD, BCPS, CPCC, FFIP. “我们必须继续使这一领域多样化，ACPHS很高兴在推进这一目标方面发挥不可或缺的作用.”
Beginning on June 4, 2023, CBET, in conjunction with Biomed Innova, Curia Global, Cytiva, Next Advance Inc., the Neural Stem Cell Institute (NSCI), SUNY Polytechnic Institute, and University at Albany’s RNA Institute, 是否将主持一系列旨在说明生物制药行业内广泛的职业道路的节目.
Students will learn about each organization, network with current employees, tour facilities, and carry out simulated work activities. 他们还将学习联邦机构在提供创新治疗以满足未满足的医疗需求方面所发挥的作用.
“在过去的几年里，人们对NIIMBL体验项目的兴趣越来越大. To address the increased demand, NIIMBL set out to expand the program both in geography and in scale,” said John Balchunas, NIIMBL workforce development director. “In piloting this new model, 我们将使每年通过体验项目了解生物制药制造行业职业的参与者人数增加三倍. 这将使学生受益，并有助于解决生物制药制造业面临的招聘问题.”
An Ambitious Agenda
Participants will explore the discovery, biomanufacturing and delivery of therapies including antibody, cell, gene, and mRNA technologies; learn via hands-on activities about nanoscience medicines discuss and view RNA computer simulations and tour a COVID-testing laboratory. In addition, 学生们将参观当地三家突显生物制药行业创新和创业精神的小企业.
As the week progresses, 学生将参观一个开发和生产基地，见证规模化生产和cGMP流程，并讨论生产用于疫苗和治疗的脂质的复杂过程, 以及用于肿瘤治疗的高效“弹头”抗体-药物偶联物的最先进合成平台. 参与者还将亲自动手设置输液袋, learn about blood vials, and make a compounding drug.
该计划为学生提供了接触生物制药行业利益相关者的绝佳机会，使他们能够通过可行的步骤建立持久的联系，以实现需求和回报的生物制药职业.
“通过召集地区生物制药优势，并将他们与当前的生物制药专业学生联系起来, 参与者参与一个职业支持网络，以确保持续的指导和成功,” said Dr. Michelle Lewis, executive director, CBET. “这个项目为不同的学生找到进入这个新兴职业领域的途径提供了一个极好的机会.”
