About the Institute
The Jefferson Institute for Bioprocessing (JIB), is the first - and only - education and training institute for biopharmaceutical processing in North America that combines commercial single-use processing equipment with the internationally recognized NIBRT curriculum.
While more than 40 percent of therapeutics currently in research and development are biopharmaceuticals, there exist only a handful of places throughout the world dedicated to training people to produce these potentially life-saving drugs, a gap that the JIB intends to close.
The JIB is expected to serve 2,500 people annually through workforce training and bioprocessing certifications, in addition to enrolling 70 additional Jefferson students in bioprocessing, engineering and other related majors.
