The idea of setting up a Biotechnology Research Center in the minds of officials and faculty members of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences goes back many years. As this university is one of the biotechnology hubs in the country, the existence of the Biotechnology Research Center in this university was felt more than ever. This center was established in 2016 with the assistance of the Vice-Chancellor for Research and Technology of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences and the President of the University, including a specialized laboratory. Then, in 2018 this center acquired the approval of the Development Council of the Ministry of Health and Education. Currently, this center is ready to respond to the research needs of the region, benefiting from the presence of faculty members with specializations related to biotechnology knowledge along with advanced laboratory equipment.
