First Biotechnology Program in the State of Missouri
• Started Fall 1999
• Research and Development based
• AAS and Certificate of Specialization degrees
• Half of declared majors - BS or higher
![Page 3: Bio-Research & Development Growth Park at the Danforth Center](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168ef550346895ddff26f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Very Successful
• Over 100 AAS & CS Degrees Awarded
• 58 Declared Majors (2011)
• 91% life science job placement

How did we get there?
• Partnerships with Industry in local area
– These will be the employers for graduates
• Asked the right questions

So what do they want?
• General laboratory skills– Pipetting skills– Record-keeping skills (notebook)– MATH skills
• Soft skills
![Page 7: Bio-Research & Development Growth Park at the Danforth Center](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168ef550346895ddff26f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Once Developed…Keep Going!
• Not done!
• Molecular biology changes
• Maintain curriculum to keep it “cutting edge”
![Page 8: Bio-Research & Development Growth Park at the Danforth Center](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168ef550346895ddff26f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How to Maintain Curriculum
• Training for faculty– National Science Foundation Workshops
• Genomics: From Mendel to Microchips• BIO Manufacturing Conference and Workshop• RNA Interference Workshops
• Adjunct Faculty from Industry– Who better to teach it
![Page 9: Bio-Research & Development Growth Park at the Danforth Center](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168ef550346895ddff26f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Program-specific Advisory Board
• Made up of similar folks polled initially
• Meet annually to share updates or changes to programs
• Receive important feedback from Board

Advanced Topics Courses
• Changes to the curriculum can be slow
• Need to be more quickly adaptive at times
• General course that can be applied to many different “specialties”
• Allows flexibility

Continue to Grow?
• Outgrow lab space
• What to do?
![Page 16: Bio-Research & Development Growth Park at the Danforth Center](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168ef550346895ddff26f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Center for Plant and Life Sciences (CPLS)
• Expanded Laboratory Space– Can offer additional sections of courses
• Moved in Oct 2009• Classes started Jan 2010
– Centralized to all STLCC Campuses
• Embedded in Industry-rich Location
• Professional Building– Good exposure for our students
![Page 17: Bio-Research & Development Growth Park at the Danforth Center](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168ef550346895ddff26f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Contract Research Organization (CRO)• November 2009• Clients
– Define projects– Determine if we have capabilities to do
• Supervise students– Train in skills if necessary– Keep on task– Maintain timelines in many cases
• more “real world” than classes
![Page 18: Bio-Research & Development Growth Park at the Danforth Center](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168ef550346895ddff26f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Multiple CRO Benefits
• Education
• Biotechnology Support of Industry locally– Start up companies– Other
