What is Biotechnology?
生物技术可以被定义为一种利用生物活动的活动, 通过使用生命系统和有机体来开发产品或工艺的技术. 虽然生物技术传统上主要用于粮食生产, 它也可以用于医学(干细胞)和农业, such as alternative fuels, to reduce humankind's environmental footprint.
Triton is fueling the minds and careers of the future
Triton学院的生物技术实验室技术员副学士学位将提高学生对科学和不同STEM领域性质的理解,为他们进入竞争激烈的行业做好准备, high performance workplace of biotechnology. 该学位课程将结合基于问题的学习和创新教学法, 并将作为生物技术行业学生的教育管道. 该项目将为学生提供与行业雇主的工作教育经验以及四年制大学的理学学士学位联系起来的途径.
Economic Impact of Biotechnology
A cluster of states in the Midwest (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, 俄亥俄州和威斯康辛州)已被证明是生物技术研究的领导者, development and academic activities, boasting more than 377,900 employees in more than 16,800 establishments across the nine states. Illinois is at the core of the biotechnology industry, 在这个领域的就业人数上处于领先地位, corporate profitability, employee wages and overall growth. 在9个州中,伊利诺伊州拥有最多的生物科学公司. 伊利诺斯州生物技术公司的公司收入从48美元增加.3 billion in fiscal year 2001 to $77.7 billion in FY 2006, and to $151.直接或间接地影响着地区和全球经济. This growth increases employees' salaries in this field, 这反过来又会影响他们的消费能力,从而推动其他行业的发展, resulting in a higher contribution to the state's tax dollars. 正如伊利诺斯州致力于推动生物技术的发展, Triton学院致力于通过其新的生物技术实验室技术员副学士学位,教育和培训我们的学生在这个蓬勃发展的市场中追求职业生涯.

Job outlook in Illinois for Biotechnology
2011年伊利诺斯州的市场收入达到了1510亿美元, 生物技术正在崛起——无论是在股票市场还是在提供有报酬的就业方面. In Illinois alone, more than 80,000人直接受雇于全州的生物技术机构. Within 400 miles of Chicago, there are more than 15,500 biotechnology establishments employing more than 360,000 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 County and Vermilion County, 这三个州都集中了大量的农业和工业企业.
Bioscience Industry Segments Include:
- Agricultural feedstock and chemicals
- Drugs and pharmaceuticals
- Medical devices and equipment
- Research, testing and medical laboratories
- Biotechnology-related distribution
The salary for a biotechnology career is just as impressive. 受雇于生物技术公司的伊利诺斯州居民的收入比伊利诺斯州居民的平均收入高出惊人的91%, making an average salary of $97,293 per year compared to about $50,920 respectively (excluding benefits). 在全国范围内,在生物技术公司工作的人的平均总报酬(工资和福利)为121美元,616 in 2011. 一个拥有两年应用科学生物技术实验室技术员助理学位的人预计可以赚到大约39美元,000 per year for an entry-level position.
