Name of Open Associate of Applied Science Degree Degree/Diploma Admissions Biotechnology Laboratory Technician or Certificate Name Keith D. Allen Coordinator Office Cooper Campus 332A Oswald Building Contact Office Phone 859-246-6767 Information Keith.Allen@kctcs.edu The Biotechnology Laboratory Technician AAS program provides the basic knowledge and laboratory skills needed to prepare for entry-level jobs in university, government, pharmaceutical, or industrial biotechnology laboratories. Graduates of the program will be able to seek employment in biotechnology laboratories such as biomanufacturing, quality control, quality assurance, research and development, and regulatory bioscience. The program has been designed to develop skills in basic analysis of biological molecules (DNA and proteins), use of bioreactors, recombinant DNA technology, generation of cell cultures, immunological method applications, regulatory compliance (GMPs and GLPs), accurate documentation, and laboratory safety skills. Some courses are dual credit and college credit can be earned while students are enrolled in secondary school.
