  • Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) are essential to ensuring that biotechnology and pharmaceutical products are safe, effective, and manufactured according to strict regulatory standards. As the biotech industry continues to grow, there is increasing demand for scientists trained to oversee testing, ensure data integrity, and maintain quality systems. For life science graduates, QA/QC offers a strong entry point into the biotechnology industry and a foundation for careers in quality systems, regulatory science, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
