Creating Pathways and Diversifying the Future Life Science Workforce
We are committed to creating an accessible and impactful pathway for students to pursue careers in the life sciences. We work with schools and school district Career Technical Education (CTE) Pathway programs to ensure we are training teachers, influencing curriculum, and preparing our students for careers in this industry.
Microcredentialing
In partnership with BCSI, this program allows students to demonstrate competency in hirable, industry-designed lab skills.
Hands-On Science Labs
Impacting 10,000 students each year: enzymes, ocean acidification, bacterial transformation, and protein purification.
Genomics Education
In partnership with Illumina, the Illumina Genomics Discovery program provides genomics curriculum through hands-on wet lab experiences and virtual simulation labs.
