The Biotech Research Center
fosters interdisciplinary research at Michigan Tech.
The
Biotech Research Center is a cooperative effort by researchers
concerned with biotechnology research and education. Faculty, staff and
students are open to collaborating on research projects and joining
together for research symposiums, seminars and conferences. By working
together toward the common goal of advancement of biotechnology, the
members of the BRC have been able to expand the scope and impact of
their work.
