Bioprocess Technologists are needed in industries involved with the research, development, innovation, and manufacture of biomaterials such as vaccines, enzymes, antibiotics, food and agricultural products, and pharmaceutical supplements. The bioprocess industry, a part of the biotechnology field, is also involved with producing alternative treatment products for diseases, creating and evaluating safer food materials, and formulating biodegradable and environmentally friendly chemicals. Most bioprocessing technology graduates will be directly involved with manufacturing, monitoring, and operating equipment, preparing fermentation media and reagents, and transferring materials for operational upgrading. Some may also be involved with the scientific, technical, training, and business aspects of biotechnology companies.
