The Biology Department is part of the Science and Applied Technologies Division. If you have any questions about the department, please contact Marion Lobstein at 703.257.6643 or mlobstein@nvcc.edu.

Our Biology Department, in cooperation with George Mason University and the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), is currently developing a program in biotechnology which will eventually encompass several degree and/or certificate programs. This is due in part to the growing need for trained technicians and other lab personnel in Washington -- more specifically in Manassas. Eli Lilly, a major international pharmaceutical company, has a manufacturing plant in Manassas (Prince William County).
