Industry Internship Requirement

The MBTP is grateful for the generous community support from local entities.  Many companies have supported the program by making industry internships available to MBTP trainees.

Trainees are required to participate in a 3 month, or longer, internship in a biotechnological industry laboratory. This experience is arranged by the student’s faculty advisor and approved by the MBTP Executive Committee.   To date, all students supported by the MBTP have participated in an industry experience.  The following is a list of participating companies:
