  1. Shoreline Community College Biotechnology Lab Specialist Program http://success.shoreline.edu/biotech/ Guy Hamilton Ph.D. Program Directorghamilton@shoreline.edu Emphasis of Program -Prepare students for careers in biotechnology research and development -Provide practical, “hands-on” learning and familiarity with cutting edge techniques, technologies, and equipment Flexible Student Access -AAAS degree program. A two-year program for those without a science background. The first year curriculum provides a foundation in math and basic sciences. The second year focuses on applied biotechnology. -Certificate Program.Students with prior Science degrees and/or experience may enter the program and complete the second year course sequence. -Modular short courses. Students with Biotech experience may enroll in these courses to receive advanced training in several topics

  2. Shoreline Biotech Lab Facilities -3000 square feet of teaching lab space dedicated to Biotechnology students completely renovated in 2004. -Facilities include molecular biology/immunology lab, tissue culture lab and computer access for students. http://success.shoreline.edu/biotech/

  3. Shoreline Biotech Core Curriculum http://success.shoreline.edu/biotech/ Media and Solution Prep Molecular Diagnostics Molecular Biology Bioinformatics Inorganic Chemistry series for majors HPLC Recombinant DNA Flow Cytometry Immunology Protein Techniques Short Course Modules - 1 or 2 credit courses to provide advanced training. Open for incumbant worker training. Tissue Culture Internship Skills Acquired Molecular Biology. Media and buffer preparation, sterile technique, recombinant DNA techniques, agarose and SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, PCR, protein expression and purification, and HPLC. Immunology and Tissue Culture - Western Blotting, ELISA, Flow Cytometry, affinity purification of antibodies, Biotin labeling of proteins.

  4. Who are our Biotech Students? • Average age – 33 • 50% Female • 37% International/Minority • 25% supported by financial aid • 6% Transfer to 4 year institutions • 85% of graduates employed within 6 months Who are our employers? Amgen, Bayer Dendreon Targeted Genetics XactaGen Zymogenetics PNRL ID Biomedical PriTest, Inc Weyerhaeuser Nastech Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center Institute of Systems Biology Seattle Cancer Care Alliance Children’s Hospital University of Washington Benaroya Research Institute

  5. Development of SCC Biotechnology Curriculum BIOTECHNOLOGY/BIOMEDICAL SKILL STANDARDS 2000 and 2007 “A PARTNERSHIP WITH INDUSTRY AND EDUCATION” http://www.wa-skills.com/biotechbiomed.html • Industry Partners • Targeted Genetics • Cell Therapeutics • Immunex • Fred Hutchinson CRC • Zymogenetics • MDS PanLabs • Food & Drug Administration • Public Health Laboratories • ICOS • ATL Ultrasound • Regulatory Consultant Firm • Rosetta/Merck • Amgen • Benaroya Research Institute • Children's Hospital • Xactagen • Skill standards are industry drivenperformance specifications that identify the knowledge, skills and abilities that individuals need to succeed in the workplace.

  6. Shoreline Biotech HS CoordinatorWashington State Workforce Development GrantAdrienne Houckahouck@shoreline.edu Goals included: Talking to students about: • the industry • career fields • path to career • salary/tuition reimbursement benefits Identifying students who are: • not planning to attend a four-year college or finances require alternatives to four-year college • first generation, ESL or other barriers that keep students from thinking ahead

  7. Outreach Opportunities for Middle and High Schools Visits to School -Science Classroom-stay for all sections, hands-on activity addressing your current curriculum. -Career fairs or Presentations Visits to Shoreline CC -Arrange full campus tour with biotechnology lab. -Can plan for a larger group with rotations -Smaller groups can arrange for lab activities.

  8. SCC Outreach goals moving forward Continue Outreach to Schools Create a Biotechnology Pathway for underserved and/or middle achieving students Pathway includes: Biotechnology Summer Student Experience (BSSE) Camp to Biotech (C2B) Continue to expand the Bruce Wallace Lab Program to Schools outside of the greater Seattle Area
