MICROBIOLOGICAL SYNTHESIS: obtaining active microbial producers of biologically active compounds (L-, D-amino acids, enzymes, bioinhibitors of pathogens, biostimulators, bacterial insecticides, biofertilizers) for the needs of medicine, pharmaceutical and food industry, agriculture using gene-selective and gene-engineering methods.
BIOTRANSFORMATION AND BIOCATALYSIS: development of biocatalytic methods for producing amino acids, peptides, enzymatic preparations, polysaccaharides and other biologically active compounds.
BIOMIMETIC ASYMMETRIC SYNTHESIS: development of effective biomimetic catalysts and methods for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure non-protein amino acids, peptides, other preparations used in pharmaceutical industry, medical diagnostics and other fields of science and engineering.
GEOBIOTECHNOLOGY: development of biotechnological approaches to metal bioleaching and metal extraction processes optimization.
ECOBIOSAFETY: processing of agricultural and food wastes, development of effective technologies.
BIOPREPARATIONS AND BIOADDITIVES: development of technologies for obtaining biologically active compounds for food, medical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.
STUDY OF MICROBIAL BIODIVERSITY OF ARMENIA: systematics, morphology, physiology, biochemistry, cytology and genetics of microorganisms.
The Scientific Council (Session No. 10 as of 07.12.2020) of the SPC "Armbotechnology" NAS RA based on the situation in the country, adopted a statement demanding the resignation of Prime Minister and the Government of RA. The text of the announcement is presented in the News section.
Three Projects of SPC "Armbiotechnology" NAS RA have been funded by ANSEF Grant. Congrats to our scientists: Kristina Karapetyan, Anna Mkrtchyan, Arevik Vardanyan. By the way, two other projects (Haykanush Koloyan, Armen Sargsyan) submitted by our Center did not receive funding due to lack of funding.
SPC “Armbiotechnology” NAS RA received funding from 2020 State Budget of RA to organize Scientific Conference “Biotechnology: Science and Practice, Innovation and Business” and School for Young Researchers “Biofuel: Current State and Trends of Development”. The School for Young Researchers will also be supported by the Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS) and the Conference will be financed by the International Science and Technology Center (ISTC).
It is realistic to recycle non-ferrous and precious metals from E-waste in Armenia
