Contributor Spotlight: Ralph M. Parsons Foundation

With a $200,000 grant from the Ralph M. Parsons Foundation, KGI was able to purchase equipment for the Amgen Bioprocessing Center and expand the center's unique applied educational offerings. The new equipment will be used in classroom instruction and student-run experiments that are essential to teaching students how bioprocessing can be applied in industries ranging from pharmaceuticals to biofuels.
