Institute of Biotechnology (IOB)
The Institute of Biotechnology (IOB) is a centre of excellence in biotechnology research. Established in 1988, the IOB was created to meet growing demands for highly skilled research personnel and the need for increased knowledge necessary for continuing expansion of the science platform upon which biotechnology innovations are based.
The Institute conducts research in selected areas of biotechnology, providing the best training in biotechnology for high quality graduates from the physical, chemical, and biological sciences. It also ensures a rapid and effective transfer of ideas and developments in biological science between Cambridge University and the industry.
