Students in the Biotechnology and Biosciences Manufacturing pathway can be a part of this exciting industry by learning some of the most fundamental knowledge and skills used in the biosciences to solve some of these challenges, while also working on collaborative projects (such as DNA fingerprinting, medical device design, forensic investigation, genetic engineering, and medical disease diagnosis and treatment) with other students, staff, and industry partners from around Colorado...and beyond!
