New €57m Bioprocessing Facility Opens
A new €57million National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training (NIBRT) facility has been officially opened in Blackrock, Co. Dublin.
The state of the art facility will support the biopharmaceutical industry in Ireland by educating and training highly skilled staff and by conducting ground-breaking research in collaboration with industry.
The new facility represents a major strategic investment in the bioprocessing industry in Ireland and is an innovative collaboration between IDA Ireland and four leading Higher Education Institutes – UCD, TCD, Sligo IT and DCU.
The NIBRT facility is unique as it is the only bioprocessing training facility in the world that so closely replicates an industrial bioprocessing environment. This allows trainees the opportunity to learn and practice complex technical bioprocessing procedures and to enhance their skills using the most modern equipment and facilities available anywhere.
Officiating at the opening, Minister Sean Sherlock said: “The pharmaceutical industry plays a critical role in the economic well-being of Ireland and the new NIBRT facility sets Ireland apart as a world class location for these companies”. He added: “This is a far-sighted investment by the Government and IDA Ireland, to underpin the development of the pharmaceutical industry by supporting the collaboration with the founding Higher Education Institutes to establish NIBRT. Ireland will undoubtedly reap the benefits in the long run both in terms of high value job creation and in attracting further foreign direct investment from the industry to our shores”.
“This new facility will play a vital role in training personnel for the bioprocessing industry in Ireland”, said Mr. Joe Harford, Chairperson of NIBRT. “The availability of such excellent research facilities and highly skilled staff will also support IDA Ireland as it seeks to attract further biopharmaceutical companies to establish operations here. Our ability to successfully integrate ground-breaking research with world class training and education makes NIBRT globally unique”.
