The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has established the Bioprocess Training and Development Complex (BTDC) under construction in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico as part of an overall development program designed to invest in new biotechnology-oriented assets and educational programs. The three main roles of the BTDC are development, training, and innovation. The BTDC will have research and training wings. Among the facilities available are a mammalian cell culture suite, a bio-analytical development suite, a purification development suite, a microbial culture suite, a small raw material warehouse, a mechanical room for clean utilities, a biohazard waste holding room, lab write-up areas, offices for lab scientists, and a small reference library.

Dangerous political precedent that could affect research in UPR

Submitted on 26 June 2006 - 5:07pm

Establishing a dangerous political precedent, this year, the House of Representatives chose to take $40 millions away form the UPR. Since 1966, to guarantee the UPR with fiscal autonomy from the political ups and downs and pressures, the UPR receives funding through a formula that, this year, equals 9.69% of the government revenues. However, this year the formula has been ignored, resulting in $40 million less for the main educational institution of the country. According to the Confederation of Associations of University Professors (CONAPU), this could affect research, among other things.
