This past summer, Waubonsee Community College professor Sheela Vemu spent ten weeks at ABPDU developing curricular modules for industrial biomanufacturing that can be incorporated into community college education. As part of U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Visiting Faculty Program, Vemu received hands-on training from ABPDU staff and networked with Bay Area organizations in the biomanufacturing space. "Coming into this program, I really wanted to be in an immersive environment, and I can definitely say I achieved that by coming to ABPDU," said Vemu. "Everyone did their part to make me feel welcome and to help me out in some way . . . as a scientist, I’ve worked on many teams, but none like the one at ABPDU."
