Experience

Graduate engaged in prosperous career

"The classes that were offered by the biotechnology program at UWRF provided an accurate overview of all the disciplines involved in Biotechnology. As an Assistant manager of Biopharmaceutical Production at Medarex, Inc. the background provided the biotechnology program UWRF has been beneficial.

The skills and techniques learned in the program have served to enhance the career opportunities made available to me in the industry. I believe the biotechnology program at UWRF provided me with an education and experiences superior to those from much larger universities. I would gladly hire any graduate of UWRF that would like to work at Medarex, Inc." - Lance Marquardt, UWRF Graduate, Medarex, Inc.
