University of Utah BiOmanufacturing
The University of Utah’s Chemical Engineering Department has partnered with Denali Therapeutics to enhance its Deep Tech Biomanufacturing Program, thanks to the opening of Utah’s first industrial-scale biotherapeutics manufacturing facility. This collaboration is part of the Utah Workforce for Biotherapeutics (UWB) Deep Tech Initiative, which aims to train students in the production of biologics—medicines derived from living cells. The new facility provides students with hands-on experience in sterile biomanufacturing processes, preparing them for careers in the biotech industry and supporting the growth of Utah’s life sciences ecosystem.

This initiative is part of a broader effort by the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) to develop a skilled workforce in biomanufacturing. The “Deep Tech” label refers to technologies that are complex, science-driven, and have long development cycles—like biologics. The UWB program is designed to give students practical, hands-on experience in producing these advanced therapies, which are typically made using living cells and require sterile, tightly controlled environments.
