Biotechnology as part of the fourth industrial revolution represents technology based on biology where cellular and biomolecular systems and processes are used to develop technologies and products that should improve the quality of life and health on our planet.
Five research groups within IMGGE direct their expertise towards the further development of biotechnology in the country and thus position IMGGE on the global map of science and bioeconomy. The application of biotechnology includes, in addition to biomedicine, the development of green technologies (sustainable waste treatment, bioremediation, biofuels, bioprotection), agriculture with green sustainable solutions and microorganisms as a source of biomolecules for the pharmaceutical, food and chemical industries.
