Biotechnology

什么是生物技术?
Biotechnology can be defined as an activity that harnesses the actions of living things, through technology that uses living systems and organisms to develop products or processes. Although  biotechnology is traditionally used primarily in food production, it can also be used in medicine (stem cells) and agricultural efforts, 比如替代燃料, 减少人类对环境的影响.

Triton正在为未来的思想和事业加油
Triton College's 生物技术实验室技术员 associate degree will advance students' understanding of science and the nature of the different STEM fields to prepare them to enter the competitive, 高效的生物技术工作场所. The degree will align curriculum that incorporates problem-based learning and innovative pedagogy, and will serve as an educational pipeline for students within the biotechnology industry.  The program will create pathways link students to work-based educational experiences with employers in the industry as well as to a Bachelor of Science degree at a four-year institution.

生物技术的经济影响
美国中西部的一组州(伊利诺伊州, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin) have proven to be leaders in biotechnology research, 发展及学术活动, 拥有超过377个,900多名员工在16,遍布九个州的800家餐厅. 伊利诺斯州是生物技术产业的核心, leading the way with the number of people employed in this field, 企业盈利能力, 员工工资和整体增长. Illinois has the largest number of bioscience companies among the nine-state cluster. Company revenue for Illinois biotechnology companies has increased from $48.从2001财年的30亿美元降至77美元.从2006财年的70亿美元增加到151亿美元.3 billion in FY 2011, directly and indirectly impacting the regional and global economy. 这种增长提高了该领域员工的工资, which in turn can impact their spending power to boost other businesses, 从而增加了对国家税收的贡献. Just as the state of Illinois is committed to fueling the growth of biotechnology, Triton College is committed to educating and training our students to pursue a career in this booming market with its new 生物技术实验室技术员 associate degree.

伊利诺斯州生物技术的就业前景
A market that has amassed $151 billion in revenue in Illinois for the year 2011, biotechnology is on the rise- both in the stock market and in providing gainful employment. 仅在伊利诺斯州, more than 80,000 people are directly employed at biotechnology establishments throughout the state. 离芝加哥不到400英里, 有超过15个,500家生物技术机构，雇员超过360人,000 people. The top five counties in Illinois that has the greatest number of biotechnology companies are Lake County; Cook County, which has a high concentration of device and diagnostic companies; and DuPage County, Rock Island县和Vermilion县, all three of which have a big concentration of agricultural and industrial firms.

生物科学产业板块包括:

• 农业原料和化学品
• 药物和药品
• 医疗器械和设备
• 研究、测试和医学实验室
• 从事的分布

生物技术职业的薪水同样令人印象深刻. Illinois residents employed by biotechnology companies earn a staggering 91 percent more than the average Illinois resident, 平均工资为97美元,每年293美元，而不是大约50美元,分别为920元(不包括福利). The average total compensation (wages and benefits) of people working at biotechnology firms across the nation was $121,616 in 2011. A person with a two-year 生物技术实验室技术员 Associate of Applied Science can expect to earn about $39,初级职位的年薪是1000万.
