It was a proud day in 2018 when CSL Behring leaders traveled to State College, Pennsylvania, to celebrate the opening of the CSL Behring Fermentation Facility at Penn State’s Center of Excellence in Industrial Biotechnology (CoEIB).

“Technology is always evolving, and bioprocessing must keep pace,” said Jay Newman, CSL Behring’s Executive Director of Chemistry Manufacturing and Controls. “Partnering with leading academic institutions, such as Penn State, better prepare not only CSL Behring but the entire industry, to address the known technological challenges of today and the unknown technological challenges of tomorrow.”
