MAINE: Two Universities part of $6M DOE EPSCoR Biotechnology Research Project
The University of Maine and University of of New England will be included in a program to advance research in quality control of biomanufacturing and biotechnology.
The universities will be supported by the Department of Energy’s EPSCoR as part of the project.
Senators Angus King, I-Maine, and Susan Collins, R-Maine, are applauding the decision to include the two universities.
They say biomanufacturing is one of Maine’s fastest-growing industries, and this program can help create opportunities for students, researchers, and Maine’s future workforce.
