Microbial Technology Microbial Technology and Bioprocess Engineering in Pakistan Dr. Muhammad Naseem Khan MSc, MBA, PhD Biotechnology and bioprocess Engineering in Pakistan Since the establishment of two biotechnology Institutes namely CEMB and NIBGE in 1987, we have seen a consistent increase in Biotech Institutes and Biotech departments in virtually all universities. It has been due to liberal support by the Government during the last two decades. BIOPROCESS ENGINEERING 01-Nov-23 2 Biotechnology and bioprocess Engineering in Pakistan There are 53 institutes/departments currently working around the country in this field. This gives an idea of the extent of infrastructure and expertise developed in this area. There are four major funding agencies in the country that has been supporting the research in agricultural biotechnology through different projects and awards BIOPROCESS ENGINEERING 01-Nov-23 3  On Going Research Projects and Funding Details BIOPROCESS ENGINEERING 01-Nov-23 4 Key Institutes National Institute for Biotechnology School of Biological Sciences (SBS) and Genetic Engineering (NIBGE) The Institute of Agricultural Sciences Institute of Biochemistry and Genetic (IAGS)PU Engineering (IBGE) National Institute for Genomics and Dr. A.Q.

Recruitment of permanent staff of NBC is in progress. Several National Biosafety Committee (NBC) and Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meetings have been held by National biosafety Centre (NBC) since February, 2017. Bt- Cotton has been the only crop which has been commercialized. There is an urgent need for re-visiting the Biosafety Guidelines in the country. If over regulation can be avoided, GM technology have the potential to increase productivity as well as the nutritional value of crops.
