Biomed Program Wins Life Sciences Grant
BU’s Biomedical Laboratory and Clinical Sciences (BLCS) Program, which is offered jointly by MET and the School of Medicine, has received $180,000 in funding from the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center (MLSC) “to enhance the quality of the training and the competencies of the students.” In accepting the award, Assistant Professor Constance Phillips, director of the program, thanked the center for enhancing laboratory offerings “to students who will help keep Massachusetts strong in the life sciences.”
The money will go toward essential lab equipment, and the implementation of an electronic laboratory information and management system. This award was part of $17 million in funding for life sciences-related capital projects announced by MLCS on March 18.
