Biomanufacturing: A Viable but Unknown STEM Option for Iowa Students
Friday November 6, 2026 TBA
We sought to better understand high school and college students’ choice of career and persistence in STEM fields and to share that knowledge so that it can be applied to reduce potential barriers to employment in biomanufacturing. This work was conducted as part of a larger project that seeks to build and integrate research capacity in biosciences and advanced manufacturing, two key areas identified as important to the state of Iowa (see https://chemurgy.vpresearch.iastate.edu/). Attendees will gain insight into the applied STEM field of biomanufacturing; what Iowa students, parents, and counselors know and think about the field; and resources most often requested for future success.
