Incubator will bring jobs to Millersville students, alumni

Posted

Millersville University and Lampire Biological Laboratories have signed an agreement for a Life Science incubator on Millersville’s campus to give students hands-on industry experience in the laboratory and access to jobs and internships.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the partnership was held on March 31, in Caputo Hall on Millersville’s campus.

Lampire is a privately held international biotech life science company that produces biological reagents used in the diagnostic and pharmaceutical industries.

Dr. Donna Cartledge-Wolf and her lab technicians are already working in a dedicated lab on campus. Two students have been selected as interns to assist with Lampire’s work.

There will also be opportunities for Millersville’s biology, chemistry and biochemistry faculty to collaborate with Lampire scientists on education programming, such as guest lectures, site visits and colloquium talks.

The Economic Development Company of Lancaster and Lisa Riggs were instrumental in bringing Millersville University and Lampire together. The university was chosen for the partnership because of its location and access to the student and alums workforce.
