The Biotechnology Research Center (CIB) at Costa Rica Institute of Technology (TEC) consists of a multidisciplinary group of researchers performing their research in three different lines of action in Biotechnology: Plants, Environmental and Biomedical Research. The research projects in Plant Biotechnology include investigations on plants with bioactive potential, natural products, secondary metabolites, antioxidant compounds, ethnobotany, bioprocesses, pharmacognosy and tissue culture. Researchers from different fields (biologists, agronomists and biotechnologists) collaborate in search of the same objective: “The use of biological resources as a source of secondary metabolites with a positive effect on health, which can be used as an adjuvant or for developing natural phytopharmaceuticals for humans”. This article presents a brief summary of the projects and achievements that have been obtained in this area of research at CIB. |
