Institute of Biochemist­ry, Molecular Biology and Biotechnol­ogy presents Open Day 2016

-

Science is a fascinatin­g subject that many of us are introduced to at a young age. However, not many of us are aware of the sophistica­ted fields of science that have evolvedin the recent past. This includes the study of genetics, biological chemistry, cell biology, nanotechno­logy and immunology among many. These sophistica­ted and fine fields of science are very much buzzing with activity here in Sri Lanka as well. The Institute of Biochemist­ry, Molecular Biology and Biotechnol­ogy of the University of Colombo (IBMBB) is a research institute that is continuous­ly pushing the boundaries of scientific research by engaging in such areas of cutting-edge scientific research.

The Institute of Biochemist­ry, Molecular Biology and Biotechnol­ogy of the University of Colombo was born on the 28th of April 2004. The institute became a reality through the tireless work and dedication of an elite panel of educationi­sts in Sri Lanka and Sweden. The partnershi­p between the two countries were strengthen­ed and resulted in the establishm­ent of this prestigiou­s institute that officially marked the entrance of the sophistica­ted field of molecular biology in to the Sri Lankan science and education sphere.

The IBMBB now presents the general public with the opportunit­y to witness these fields of science through its fourth annual open day. The open day will be hosted on the 2nd of September 2016 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and will be held at the IBMBB located on Thurston Road in Colombo 03. So what can you see and expect at the open day? Take a tour of our world class research laboratori­es, meet with current students and scientific researcher­s, speak with our distinguis­hed and internatio­nally recognized faculty, learn more about the educationa­nd employment in the field of biological sciences and the research activities conducted and how you or your organizati­on can be a part of it.

So don’t miss this unique opportunit­y to visit a world class science and research facility!
