The University of Delaware broke ground in April of 2024 on the Securing American Biomanufacturing Research and Education (SABRE) Center. The $150 million facility will enhance the R&D capabilities of the adjacent National Institute for Innovation in Manufacturing Biopharmaceuticals (NIIMBL) while driving the creation of a skilled workforce. Serving as a living laboratory for the formulation of best practices, the 70,000-sf building is envisioned as a place to scale up and mature new production methods. State-of-the-art instrumentation suites will allow students to engage in hands-on learning and training.
SABRE is located on the university's Science, Technology and Advanced Research (STAR) Campus, a former Chrysler plant that has been transformed into a vibrant innovation ecosystem.
