With 11 locations across the U.S., the Resilience Cell Therapy Center of Excellence is dedicated to creating processes and platforms that will allow scientists to make their novel therapies quickly, safely, and at scale. Resilience offers solutions with expertise across five core modalities: biologics, cell therapy, gene therapy, nucleic acids, and vaccines.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Industry Visit Program is a key component of IBB\u2019s NIH\/NIGMS-funded T32 Biotechnology Training Program focused on developing the next generation of leaders for biotechnology industries. The program supports some of Georgia Tech\u2019s brightest Ph.D. students, with professional development activities and travel expenses to biotech industry sites covered. These visits provide students with a firsthand look inside some of the best biotech companies, as well as excellent networking opportunities.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELuiza DaMotta, a second-year bioengineering Ph.D. student in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering, was among the students who joined the trip. DaMotta is researching antimicrobial hydrogels for bone healing in Andr\u00e9s Garc\u00eda\u2019s lab.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cThis trip to the\u0026nbsp;Resilience\u0026nbsp;site was an exciting experience to meet like-minded Ph.D. students interested in pursuing a career in industry,\u201d DaMotta said. \u201cThis was my first exposure to the CTEng students and first time touring a bioindustry site. I was introduced to industry terminology and the operations of industries from the inside through this unique opportunity. My favorite part was talking to current employees about their journey from Ph.D. students to industry and their advice for current students. Everyone was incredibly friendly and truly enjoyed working there. I learned a lot about myself, and I am stepping into my second year more confident in the direction of my future.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPast companies visited include Genentech, Celgene, Boston Scientific, and Kimberly Clark. Several of our trainees have obtained internships or permanent employment with these companies, highlighting the immense value of industry visits and partnerships.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cimg src=\u0022https:\/\/research.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/news-images\/Resilience2.png\u0022 alt=\u0022Resilience and IBB researchers\u0022 width=\u00221219\u0022 height=\u0022721\u0022\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EIn early July, IBB professors and researchers Ed Botchwey and Andr\u00e9s Garc\u00eda led a team of graduate students from the NIH \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/research.gatech.edu\/bio\/nih-cell-and-tissue-engineering\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECell and Tissue Engineering\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E (CTEng) and NSF Engineering Research \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/cellmanufacturingusa.org\/\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECenter for Cell Manufacturing Technologies\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E (CMaT) programs on an industry visit to\u0026nbsp;Resilience\u0026nbsp;in Pennsylvania.
