NIBRT National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training

Research Spotlight: NIBRT National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training recently hosted a group of students from the Jefferson Institute of Bioprocessing (JIB) funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) program. In order to gain understanding of the biopharma industry in Ireland, the students completed a ten week research project with a NIBRT principal investigator and visited Pfizer’s Grangecastle facilty. NIBRT also arranged cultural excursions for the students and they had the opportunity to travel around Ireland to see the sights. We wish them well as they return home.
