Summary of laboratory activities:
Since 2012, Biopolymers laboratory has been affiliated to Vice President of Science and Technology Biotechnology Development Staff. In this lab, designing, fabrication, characterization and evaluation of tissue engineering scaffolds and drug delivery systems and their properties are done. In addition, cell culture and bacterial growth measurements on biopolymers, polymer curing, determination of protein and peptide concentration, and microscopic imaging are performed. The lab has carried out several national projects, including the Cochlear Implants Program, Biocompatible Polymers Project, and Nimad Project. So far, 107 graduate students have completed their master's or doctoral projects, and more than 200 ISI papers resulting biopolymer lab research have been published in international journals.

The average annual number of students who work at biopolymer lab is 28 students.

The average annual tests number for  industry-out-of-university tests is 50

The average number of research tests per year for students is 450.
