International Biological Material Research Center is aiming at procuring biological materials from four overseas regional centers and their neighboring countries through legal routes within the scope of international collaborative research projects. Our mission is to provide researchers with a variety of materials, including indigenous medicinal knowledge and also to establish the nation’s core infrastructure for developing new natural drugs and nutraceuticals, along with other commercially important natural products.
Research Areas
Operation and management of four collaborative biological material research centers for the collection and preparation of biological materials worldwide
Establishment and operation of a comprehensive system and database to manage biological materials and related traditional medicinal knowledge procured from four regional centers and their neighboring countries
A study on the standardization of highly active biological materials (massive cultivation and quality control) for the establishment and operation of a supply system for leading research groups within the scope of the assigned project
Phylogenetic Analysis and Development of DNA barcode for the identification of Medicinal plants
A study on the information resources (biological resource access and benefit-sharing, related laws, and system, local information) for the promotion of cooperation and utilization
