MARDI provides consultancy and technical
services as well as offers joint ventures
and licensing arrangements for the
commercialization of research results.
Focus areas include:
• Molecular Biology and Genetic
Engineering – developing new crop
varieties that cannot be easily produced
through conventional breeding.
• Bio-Processing – the use of biological
materials, such as microorganisms and
enzymes, and even plant and animal
cells, to catalyze the conversion of raw
materials to value-added food and
non-food products.
• Bio-Diagnostics & Bio-Safety – the
production and development of locallymade
diagnostic apparatus for the
agriculture, food and environment
sectors. Emphasis is given to the
development of biosensors,
immunodiagnostic and DNA-based
diagnostics as well as the assessment
of GMO food products.
