Building the Bioworkforce of the Future: Expanding Equitable Pathways into Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Jobs

Abstract

Global industry is on the cusp of a revolution powered by biotechnology2 and biomanufacturing.3 By harnessing the power of biotechnology and biomanufacturing, we can produce almost anything that we use in our day-to-day lives from medicines to fuels to plastics.We can program microorganisms to make specialty chemicals and compounds that can replace fossil fuels with more climate-friendly alternatives. We can develop new treatments for debilitating diseases like cancer, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and rare diseases. We can develop improved crops and animal varieties that produce food, fuel, and fiber with less resources. These are but a few examples of the innovation and potential of biomanufacturing powered by advanced biotechnology.
