BioPharmaceutical Technology Center Institute (BTC Institute)

Located on the first floor of the BioPharmaceutical Technology Center (BTC), this not-for-profit, independent organization operates exclusively for educational, scientific and cultural enrichment opportunities. Promega serves as the primary corporate sponsor. Founded in 1993, the BTC Institute has served more than 75,000 students in educational programs focusing on the life sciences designed for a wide range of learners— from upper elementary school students to scientists in academia and industry, as well as the general public. Annually, the BTC Institute hosts the International Forum on Consciousness, bringing together the worlds of natural and social sciences, as well as the Wisconsin Stem Cell Symposium, the latter in partnership with the UW-Madison Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Center.
