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.
Join us for
The Sixth Annual ESC/BRC Graduate Research Forum

PhD Finishing Fellowships
In order to support the BRC mission of advancing graduate education and research in the areas of molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, genomics, bioinformatics and biotechnology on the Michigan Tech campus, the Biotechnology Research Center offers finishing fellowships to PhD graduate students of BRC members.

Awards are up to $5,000 per PhD students in their final semester at Michigan Tech who have been supported by external research grants through the Biotech Research Center.

Awards are to be used toward tuition and fees or stipend support. A suggested 1:1 match will be appreciated, but not required at this time.

Recipients must acknowledge the financial support provided by the BRC in his/her thesis.
