Welcome to the IBGE
The primary goal of the Institute of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering (IBGE) is to deliver high-class teaching and conduct globally competitive nationally important basic and applied research in the field of biotechnology and genetic engineering. We have two highly demanding MS and Ph.D. programs in Biotechnology. We host highly curious and passionate Postdoctoral Fellows funded by the University Grants Commission of Bangladesh and other donor agencies. We also offer one core course, BTL 410 Introductory Biotechnology, and Genetic Engineering in the summer term of BS in Agriculture. Highly passionate, curious ambitious students and Ph.D. holders are welcome to join our IBGE team for their exciting journey of unknowns.
The IBGE has more than 6,000 sq.ft laboratories with state-of-the-art facilities including an Illumina genome sequencing platform for conducting advanced research in Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering. We have a strong collaboration with local and internationally leading research groups and industries for addressing new challenges in agriculture for ensuring the food and nutritional security of the nation. The researchers at IBGE publish 25-35 research articles per year in high-impact international journals and book series.
The founding Director of IBGE, Professor Tofazzal Islam is the Editor-in-Chief of two famous book series, CRISPR-Cas Methods and Bacilli and Agrobiotechnology publishes by Springer. He is also an Academic Editor of the world-leading journal, PLOS One.
We welcome any proposal from National and International researchers on any of the following topics of our interests:
-
Understanding biology of wheat blast pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae Triticum pathotype through genomics and postgenomics approaches
-
Development of blast resistant wheat variety using genome editing technology such as CRISPR-Cas technology
-
