Made Scientific Inc. (搜索), a leading U.S.-based clinical- and commercial-stage cell therapy (搜索) contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), has announced a strategic partnership with New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to co-develop and deliver graduate-level bioprocessing elective courses within NJIT's Master of Science program in Chemical and Materials Engineering.
Workforce Development Initiative
Under this collaboration, Made Scientific will leverage its expertise in advanced therapies and bioprocessing, along with its Made Scientific Foundry scholar program, to support the creation of rigorous, industry-aligned curriculum. The scholar program represents the academic pillar of Made Scientific's workforce development and training offering, designed specifically to prepare the next generation of cell and gene therapy (搜索) (CGT) professionals.
The program combines academic rigor with practical, hands-on experience grounded in the same standards, tools, and workflows used in active CGT manufacturing environments. Set to launch in Spring 2027, the course will equip graduate students with the skills and real-world knowledge required to make an immediate impact in the biotech industry.
"By combining Made Scientific's hands-on manufacturing expertise and our workforce development & training program with NJIT's academic excellence, we are creating a truly differentiated learning experience — one that will produce industry-ready professionals capable of driving innovation in CGT manufacturing," said Syed T. Husain, Chairman & CEO of Made Scientific.
Academic Integration and Industry Impact
The partnership brings industry-leading CGT expertise directly into NJIT's graduate curriculum in an immersive and practical format. Moshe Kam, Dean of NJIT's Newark College of Engineering, emphasized the immediate relevance of this collaboration: "This partnership brings industry-leading CGT expertise into our graduate curriculum in a way that is immersive, practical, and immediately relevant. Together, we grow and strengthen the advanced therapies workforce and support New Jersey's position as a global leader in biomanufacturing."
Teik Lim, President of NJIT, highlighted the broader implications for workforce development: "Talent is everywhere, but opportunity must be created. This partnership is a great opportunity to equip NJIT graduate students with the hands-on knowledge and industry fluency to enter the workforce in cell and gene therapy (搜索) and related fields ready to contribute from day one while strengthening New Jersey's position as a national leader in biomanufacturing innovation."
Continuing Partnership
Today's announcement marks the continuation of a long-standing partnership between the two organizations. Made Scientific originally emerged from NJIT's New Jersey Innovation Institute (NJII), exemplifying the transformative impact that strong collaboration between higher education and industry can have on innovation and economic growth.
Made Scientific specializes in the development, manufacturing, and release of autologous and allogeneic cell therapy (搜索) products for clinical and commercial supply. Headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey, the company combines the agility and entrepreneurial spirit of a specialist CDMO with deep technical expertise to deliver reliable and scalable manufacturing solutions.
NJIT is recognized as the greatest producer of technological talent and knowledge in New Jersey and serves as a nexus of innovation. The Wall Street Journal ranks NJIT No. 1 in New Jersey among public universities for both alumni salaries and value, while The Princeton Review rates it No. 27 in the U.S. as a Best Value College.
