Jefferson Institute for Bioprocessing (JIB), Philadelphia, USA
In 2019, Jefferson officially opened the doors to the first - and only - specialiSed education and training institute for biopharmaceutical processing in North America that combines commercial single use processing equipment with the internationally recognized NIBRT curriculum.
The focus of JIB is hands-on training of industry professionals through short-term trainings, certificates and hands-on education of new bioprocessing engineers and scientists at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
The education and training programs in bioprocessing are anchored at the new state-ofthe-art JIB facility, located minutes from Philadelphia, PA.
The institute is focused on biomanufacturing and dedicated to education and industry-based research that translates advances in the life sciences into emerging therapeutics that benefit humanity.
JIB joins partnership to train scientists to produce life-saving drugs
Training Courses
JIB understands the critical need to rapidly develop and advance the skills and knowledge of scientists, engineers and technicians who work in process development and bio-manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals and biologics.
JIB provides a broad-range of trainings in commercial single-use processing equipment as well as customized trainings to meet the full needs of the industry. Through its 25,000 sq. ft. fully flexible state-of-the-art facility, JIB provides a truly tactile training experience by combining interactive presentations, workshops, hands-on laboratory and pilot-scale experience
Academic Offerings
Offering both an MSc in Biopharmaceutical Process Engineering and a Graduate Certificate in Biopharmaceutical Process Development (BPD Certificate),
JIB is ideal for employment-focused graduates with first degrees in Life Sciences and Engineering. Training and education in biopharmaceutical processing are exceptionally laboratory intensive.
At JIB, the students spend less time in traditional classroom settings and more time in JIB’s pilot-scale facility, fully equipped with the most advanced technologies and processes used by industry to manufacture biopharmaceuticals.
