Utah Medical Innovations Pathways (MIP) Graduates Celebrated at State Capitol Ceremony
High school seniors from five Utah school districts were awarded the
Medical Innovations Certificate during a graduation ceremony at the Utah
State Capitol
SALT LAKE CITY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–BioUtah applauds the 2019 graduating class of the Medical Innovations
Pathways (MIP) program. On April 30, 52 high school seniors from
Canyons, Davis, Granite, Jordan and Tooele school districts were awarded
the Medical Innovations Certificate during a graduation ceremony at the
Utah State Capitol.
The Certificate guarantees students a job interview with leading life
sciences companies in the state, who are participating in the MIP
program. These companies, many of whom attended the ceremony, include
BD, BioFire, Biomerics, Edwards Lifesciences, Fresenius, GE Healthcare,
Merit Medical, Nelson Laboratories, Sorenson Forensics, Stryker, TEVA
Pharmaceuticals and Varex Imaging. Utah’s life sciences industry is
among the fastest growing in the nation. A skilled workforce is needed
to keep pace with demand.
Jeffery R. Nelson, President of Nelson Laboratories, a Sotera Health
company, and a member of the MIP Executive Committee, addressed
students, parents, educators, government officials and guests as the
ceremony’s keynote speaker. “I was honored to speak at the graduation of
the MIP Class of 2019,” said Nelson.
In his remarks to the graduates, Nelson said, “We’re fortunate to live
in a state that offers students a chance to explore careers in the life
sciences and see firsthand the important work we do. You represent the
next generation workforce. You are the future that will continue to
innovate and develop new breakthrough technologies to change medicine
and improve the quality of life.”
Keyana Besendorfer, a graduate of the MIP Class of 2018, and Production
Associate at Stryker, also addressed the graduates. “Your Medical
Innovations Certificate opens doors to exciting careers with major life
sciences companies,” she told the gathering. “After graduating from high
school, I found a home at Stryker where I help manufacture a device used
to treat stroke patients. We have a chance to bring forward new ideas
and develop the life-changing innovations of tomorrow. That’s exciting.”
Kimberlee Carlile, Director of the Talent Ready Utah Center, presided
over the graduation and congratulated students on their achievement.
Others speaking as part of the program included Superintendent Scott
Rogers of Tooele School District, and Karen Peterson, Education Policy
Specialist with the office of Governor Gary R. Herbert.
The MIP program, launched as a pilot program with the Governor’s Office
of Economic Development in 2016, is part of BioUtah’s larger workforce
agenda.
“Through MIP, high school students get early exposure to Utah’s medical
technology companies, which can help us retain talent and strengthen our
workforce,” said Kerri Harris, Senior Human Resources Manager at BD.
“We want to invest in these students and help them find rewarding
careers in our industry,” said Jake Reyes, Senior Corporate Recruiter
for Merit Medical.
Students who enroll in the MIP program choose a medical device or
laboratory concentration, and are required to complete certain classroom
studies. In addition, students must do on-site job shadows with
experienced industry professionals.
Over 1,000 Utah life sciences companies, from the medical device,
diagnostic, biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors, provide more than
130,000 jobs in the state.
“MIP is a great private-public partnership,” said Kelvyn Cullimore,
President and CEO of BioUtah, who was on hand to celebrate the
graduates. “You have government, education and industry coming together
to prepare students for the 21st century economy, while helping to build
a talent pool for this fast-growing industry.”

Humboldt Seed Company partners with Apollo Green to bring California cannabis genetics to the global marketplace
Apollo Green to distribute Humboldt Seed Company clonal cannabis genetics to Germany, Portugal and Australia
SAN FRANCISCO, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Humboldt Seed Company (HSC), California’s leading cannabis seed producer, has announced a partnership with Canadian-based Apollo Green to make eight breeder cuts available to researchers, licensed commercial cultivators and home growers in legal markets worldwide. This first-to-market clonal genetics release is a significant milestone and will expand access to distinctive, high-quality cannabis genetics in both established and emerging global markets including Germany, Portugal and Australia.
The curated, breeder-verified selection includes pioneering triploid genetics, such as OG Triploid and Donutz Triploid alongside the legendary cult classic Blueberry Muffin. Also available are All Gas OG with a THC content of 21% and four high-THC strains in the 30-35% range: Golden Sands, Guzzlerz, Jelly Donutz and Orange Creampop. These selections represent the top .01% from HSC’s extensive California pheno-hunting program.
Exports will begin in May under Apollo Green’s Canadian federal cannabis license. All shipments have Canadian phytosanitary certification, ensuring plants have been inspected, and are clean and free of pests.
“Access for all to quality genetics has been our core focus since the beginning,” said HSC Co-founder and Chief Science Officer, Benjamin Lind. “Our science-based approach to breeding aligns perfectly with Apollo Green’s high standards and we are excited to be able to extend these hand-selected cuts to a wider audience, especially at this pivotal time where we’re seeing positive regulatory changes globally.”
Oisin Tierney, Apollo Green Director of Business Development, said, “California has long been recognized for setting industry standards, and we are proud to play a role in bringing these esteemed genetics to cultivators worldwide. The triploids are especially noteworthy in terms of the unprecedented potential for enhanced plant vigor, higher yields, shorter flowering times and superior returns for solventless extraction.”
