On March 8th and 9th 2011, Centennial College presented a Biotechnology Lecture Series in collaboration with Bioscience Education Canada. This lecture series hosted a dynamic group of speakers from all areas of the biotechnology industry in Canada, as well as some nationally recognized bioscience educators, to speak about cutting-edge research and the latest breakthroughs in the field of biotechnology.
Featured in this group, among others, were Dr. Cecil Forsberg from the University of Guelph to speak about his “Enviropig™” research, a controversial transgenic animal headed towards commercialization; Dr. Leonardo Simon from the University of Waterloo, a lead researcher on the Ontario BioCar Initiative and winner of the Canadian Top 40 Under 40 prize; and Mr. Glen Kim, a science teacher at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Secondary School and winner of the Ontario Genomics Institute 2010 Genomics Teaching Prize.
The series of lectures brought together a wide range of audience including Centennial faculty, students and a host of both local and international bioscience educators. Whether individuals were keen on learning about the latest and greatest research in biotechnology or how to bring biotechnology back into their classrooms, the attendees were enthusiastic about each of the speakers and the event proved to be a great success for Centennial College and Bioscience Education Canada.
