The Marine Biotechnology Center of Innovation will serve as the focal point of North Carolina’s Marine Biotechnology to the world. The intent of this Center is to bring together:
- Marine biotechnologically-based services and innovation to meet the market needs of the COI’s customers and partners
- Create markets where none exist
- Contribute to the educational, economic and social development of the State of North Carolina and its residents through marine biotechnology
The foundation of our technology lies in the rich resources of North Carolina’s institutions of higher learning, particularly, Duke University, East Carolina University, North Carolina State University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, with additional contributions from our community colleges and various state-sponsored organizations and agencies.
