When the Colorado BioScience Institute selected Kevin Marhenke as its Mentor of the Year, the recognition came with one small challenge. Kevin would prefer the spotlight shine elsewhere.
When Kylie Kemp entered the medical device field as a young engineer, she remembers wishing she had more guidance. “There weren’t many opportunities to connect with professionals in the industry and understand what the work actually looked like day-to-day,” she said. Today, Kylie is a Senior Development Engineer at Highridge Medical, where she designs spinal implants and surgical instrumentation—and she is also a dedicated mentor with the Colorado BioScience Institute.
When Gabe started high school in 2019, he had no idea he was taking the first step toward a career in life sciences. “I’ll be honest — my parents kind of threw me into the P-TECH program,” he laughs. “I wasn’t sure what I was getting into.” But one field trip changed everything.
The University of Colorado Denver and the University of Colorado Anschutz, in partnership with Colorado BioScience Institute, have received nearly $1 million from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to expand the Quality Assurance (QA) and Regulatory Affairs (RA) Certificate Program.
When Maria Sears set out to build a medical device, she wasn’t working in a lab at MIT or shadowing researchers in a major city hospital. She was a high school student in Monte Vista, Colorado, a rural town better known for agriculture than engineering, using borrowed tools, sheer determination, and a powerful personal connection to guide her work.
Colorado BioScience Institute and Colorado BioScience Association announce a new initiative, the Life Sciences Employer Talent Collaborative, launched to strengthen Colorado’s talent pipeline and ensure a steady supply of skilled workers for the state’s growing life sciences ecosystem.
