Welcome

The National Science Foundation has awarded Harford Community College’s Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) division nearly $500,000 to update its current biotechnology programs, providing Harford County residents with the cutting-edge skills necessary for employment in the growing biotechnology industry in Maryland. This guide was created to support this endeavor by the STEM division at HCC.

Starting in fall 2021, HCC biotechnology students will engage in a discovery-based project, Science Education Alliance Phage Hunters Advancing Genomic and Evolutionary Science (SEA-PHAGES), to identify new viruses, called bacteriophages, in local soil. Bacteriophages are gaining interest as a possible alternative to combat antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections.
