We recently delivered our AMI-LITE liquid handling system to a lab at , giving students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with automated liquid handling.

By working with the AMI-LITE, students can explore how automated workflows are developed, understand the importance of precision and reproducibility, and build practical skills relevant to research and biotechnology careers.

A special thank you to Professor and for helping coordinate a smooth delivery and welcoming our team!

We鈥檙e excited to support the next generation of scientists as they connect classroom knowledge with laboratory practice.

Just one month into their programs, biotechnology students at 91亚色's Markham Campus are already building the skills the sector needs.

Our Graduate Diploma in Biotechnology (GDB) students will complete an intensive eight-month program that combines coursework and experiential learning. Master of Biotechnology Management (MBM) students pair scientific expertise with business and management training, then put it to work through industry internships with partner organizations.

Across both programs, students learn by doing through hands-on experience and capstone projects that help them develop an entrepreneurial mindset for a fast-moving field.

Looking to host an MBM intern, hire emerging biotech talent or propose a capstone project? Let鈥檚 connect.

At the latest Industry and Career Exploration Panel and Networking Session, students heard directly from industry professionals working in vaccine production and biotech, not just about the roles themselves, but how to actually get there after completing their Microcredential or graduate training.

The panel led practical conversations around hiring trends, in demand skills, and what employers are really looking for right now. And during the post panel networking session, students continued those conversations one on one and started building connections with industry experts.

Thank you to our speakers and partners for sharing your time and insights:

Last week, our campus brought biotech employers together with students from the Master of Biotechnology Management (MBM), the Graduate Diploma in Biotechnology, and the Micro credential in Vaccine Production and Quality Assurance to share real world hiring perspectives and build connections.

Employers spoke candidly about what they look for in early career hires, the skills that help new graduates get up to speed quickly, and how internships connect to real projects across biotech and life sciences.

A heartfelt thank you to all the panelists who joined and shared their journeys: (Compound Creations), (), (), (), and ( Research Institute).

If you are hiring or planning ahead, preview the 2026 MBM R茅sum茅 Book (.pdf) and meet internship ready candidates.

Faculty members and , along with the Co op & Career Centre team, helped bring students and employers together for this session.

Last week, our Master of Biotechnology Management and Graduate Diploma in Biotechnology Capstone Poster Event showed what鈥檚 possible when biotech leaders and graduate students collaborate 鈥� offering a glimpse into the future of learning: hands-on, connected, and driven by real-world challenges. Partners from more than 10 leading biotech organizations participated in a poster showcase and evaluations, providing actionable feedback and insights that bridged classroom innovation with industry expertise.

Thanks to for funding support that makes these experiences possible. And a huge shout-out to the amazing organizations already leading the way:

Special shout-out to our partners at 鈥� which has hired several of our Biotech students in the past year 鈥� for providing your expertise and evaluating every poster at the event.

Partnerships like these help shape employer-ready talent and spark innovation across the biotech sector. If you鈥檙e a biotech organization looking to:

• Collaborate on applied research
• Share expertise through mentorship and guest lectures
• Recruit skilled talent through experiential learning
• Build visibility in 91亚色 Region鈥檚 growing innovation hub

We鈥檇 love to connect. Let鈥檚 build the future of biotech together.

For Marwah Azizi, pursuing a Master of Disaster and Emergency Management (MDEM) at 91亚色 is more than an academic goal鈥攊t鈥檚 a personal mission to create positive change and build a more equitable future.

With an undergraduate degree in Public Health, Azizi developed a strong awareness of the systemic inequities that affect how marginalized and vulnerable communities experience crises in Canada and around the world. As an immigrant, she witnessed firsthand how social and structural barriers can shape people鈥檚 ability to recover and rebuild. This understanding inspired her to seek a graduate program that would allow her to merge her public health background with a broader perspective on disaster and emergency management鈥攐ne that integrates compassion, preparedness, and advocacy for those most at risk.

Azizi鈥檚 commitment to this work deepened in response to global events. The 2021 Taliban takeover in Afghanistan, which has since deprived Afghan girls and women of more than four years of access to education, profoundly impacted her worldview. 鈥淲itnessing such a profound violation of basic human rights reinforced my commitment to a field where I could not only study crises and humanitarian emergencies, but also explore the complexities of international relations and policy-making that directly affect vulnerable populations,鈥� she reflects.
