Part eight of the feature story in Hood Magazine fall 2023.
Bioscience Research & Education Center
BREC is committed to advancing the life science industry. The Center supports workforce development and provides career-relevant research opportunities to foster innovation and to increase the number of highly skilled professionals in the region.
To learn more about the center, contact Rana Khan, Inaugural Director, at khan@hood.edu or 301-696-3666.
BREC is funded in part by generous state and federal grants.
Matched by a gift from Ruth Whitaker Holmes ’55, H’93, Ph.D., the Maryland E-Nnovation Initiative Fund provided grant support to establish the endowed director position for BREC. The director will be active in program development, student recruitment and creating ties to the local and regional community, specifically the biomedical industry sector. They will initiate research and educational collaborations with the appropriate companies, governmental agencies and other academic institutions in the area.
BREC also received Department of Education Fund for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education (FIPSE) support through the FY23 Federal Omnibus Bill. The funding provides resources for faculty course development and research, travel to conferences and needed equipment for BREC.
