K-State's biomanufacturing hub

When students step into the new Biomanufacturing Laboratory and Training Facility at Kansas State University, they enter a space that goes beyond teaching techniques. The laboratory, housed in Seaton Hall, will shape the future of workforce development, research and regional leadership in biomanufacturing — a sector that is rapidly expanding across Kansas and the nation.

At a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Sept. 23, university leaders described the facility as a cornerstone of the Biomanufacturing Training and Education Initiative — an ambitious effort to connect industry, research and education while establishing Kansas as a national leader in biomanufacturing and biosecurity.
