I had the privilege of participating in a panel session organized by City of Prince George to celebrate the completion of Arbios Biotech's cutting-edge R&D facility in Prince George, the first of its kind in the region. This remarkable facility is set to revolutionize the industry, and I’m thrilled that Northern Analytical Lab Services at the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) facility at the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) is closely connected to its future operations.
At UNBC, we are committed to fostering innovation and supporting local industries. Our professors, graduate students, postdocs, and state-of-the-art labs are already contributing to the groundbreaking work Arbios Biotech and other local industries are doing. This partnership exemplifies how collaboration between academia and industry can drive technological advancements while creating opportunities for highly qualified personnel.
As I shared during the panel:
?? Collaboration is essential. In today’s world, R&D costs are rising, and partnerships like this one are critical for success on both sides.
?? Investing in local talent is key. For industries to thrive, they must engage with and invest in local, highly-educated professionals.
?? UNBC is vital to the community. Our influence in Prince George’s industrial base is profound, and partnerships like these ensure that we continue to serve and grow together.
A big thank you to Arbios for recognizing the value of collaboration with UNBC and for leveraging our lab facilities as they advance their R&D efforts. This is a win-win for the university, the industry, and the community!
I’m excited about the future and the opportunities this facility will bring to Prince George. Together, we’re paving the way for innovation, sustainability, and growth.
