The Bio Technical Institute (BTI), located in the heart of Baltimore City, is preparing the next generation of lab workers and giving their students a true shot at career success.
BTI is leading the way in providing tuition-free, high-quality training to help those who are under- or unemployed become lab workers in the rapidly expanding life science field. Founded in 1998 by Dr. Margaret Penno, associate professor of medicine and director of the Cell Culture Laboratory at Johns Hopkins, the organization has since perfected a successful model to train and help motivated students begin their careers in bioscience.
The program aims to train an estimated 40-50 graduates per year, all guided under the extensive knowledge and experiences of its staff, composed of PhDs and MDs with backgrounds in biology and laboratory technology. Many graduates of BTI’s programs have been invited to come back to the program to help train the next student cohort with hands-on teaching experience.
