Penn State has named and opened the Sartorius Cell Culture Facility where researchers will study the normal physiology and biochemistry of cells. Sartorius committed $1.5 million in January to launch the facility.
“This donation from Sartorius is a tremendous investment in biotechnology at Penn State and a huge step forward in our organizations’ partnership,” said Lora G. Weis, PhD, senior vice president for research at Penn State. “Across our university’s $1 billion research enterprise, few areas have as much potential for widespread impact as biotechnology. Sartorius is helping to ensure that Penn State remains a leader in this field, not just by conducting groundbreaking research but also in preparing our graduates to become leaders themselves.”
