  • Obese people struggle with their genes (AFP)

    Debate over the obesity epidemic sweeping parts of the world has focussed on whether lifestyle -- too much junk food and couch-potato living -- is the big culprit or whether genes are also to blame. A new study may help tip the balance in favour of those who claim that fat runs in their family and there is little they can do about it.(AFP/File)AFP - Debate over the obesity epidemic sweeping parts of the world has focussed on whether lifestyle -- too much junk food and couch-potato living -- is the big culprit or whether genes are also to blame.

BioNetwork supports the mission of the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS) aligning world class workforce training and education to the Biotechnology, pharmaceutical and life science industries.

BioNetwork trains at all levels of this industry, upgrading the skills of incumbent workers, from entry level to management. Our seven centers, strategically and geographically positioned, develop short and curriculum designed courses to meet the needs of industry. The centers themselves are staffed with highly skilled industry trained experts that are constantly developing workforce training programs that can be delivered anywhere in North Carolina.
