Research Clusters
Integrated Plant Biotechnology and circular bioeconomy Resaerch Group
The Integrated Plant Biotechnology, Plant Tissue Culture, and Circular Bioeconomy Cluster is an interdisciplinary research group looking at advancing sustainable and innovative solutions in plant science and agricultural resource management. We are expertise in plant biotechnology, genetic improvement, in vitro propagation techniques, and sustainable utilization of agricultural residues.
The core focus areas include the development of efficient plant tissue culture systems for large-scale propagation, the implementation of integrated plant disease control strategies, and the application of modern breeding and molecular techniques for crop improvement. We promote circular bioeconomy and try to transform agricultural and agro-industrial waste into valuable bioproducts to reduce environmental impact and create new opportunities to farming community.
