About Our Lab

All praise to Almighty Allah. Cell genetics and plant biotechnology laboratory was established in the Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering Department, Jahangirnagar University in 2012 sooner after the department was established. Initially plant tissue culture facilities were established with very limited resources.
Stress Tolerant Plants
Stress Tolerant Plants
Stress-tolerant plants establish a new metabolic homeostasis in response to stress and thereby can continue to grow without suffering stress-induced injury.
GM Crops
GM Crops
Genetically modified crops (GM crops) are plants used in agriculture, the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering methods.
Searching for Novel Traits
Searching for Novel Traits
Novel traits, as defined by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), are characteristics in an organism that have been created or introduced through a specific genetic change by genetic engineering that make it different from the unmodified organism.
Revolutionizing Plant Science
Revolutionizing Plant Science
Unlocking the Power of CRISPR/cas9. It is a unique technology that enables geneticists and medical researchers to edit parts of the genome? by removing, adding, or altering sections of the DNA? sequence. It is currently the simplest, most versatile and precise method of genetic manipulation and is therefore causing a buzz in the science world.

Why Are We Doing This

What Is Our Mission

Our mission to create innovative facilities by using modern biotechnologies to ensure the current demands exploiting the valuable plants/crops and microbes for the food security, sustainable agriculture, green environment and human health in Bangladesh.

Our vision to develop trained, proficient and competent human resources for the development of Shonar Bangla and vision 2041.

Engaging People
Engaging People
Data suggests that participation in scientific research helps improve literacy and understanding among members of the public.
Local Gene Bank
Local Gene Bank
We are working hard to develop a local gene bank.
Sustainable Farming
Sustainable Farming
Sustainable agricultural practices are intended to protect the environment, expand the Earth's natural resource base, and maintain and improve soil fertility.
Biosafety
Biosafety
Biosafety is the prevention of large-scale loss of biological integrity, focusing both on ecology and human health. These prevention mechanisms include conduction of regular reviews of the biosafety in laboratory settings, as well as strict guidelines to follow. Biosafety is used to protect from harmful incidents.

We Work With Plants

Plant science is essential to maintaining the world around us. Plants feed us (horticultural and agronomic crops), clothe us (flax, cotton, linen), respire oxygen (photosynthesis), put roofs over our heads (wood), provide us medicine, and more.
