About The Project

The overall objective of PlantaSYST is to establish a Center of Plant Systems Biology and Biotechnology (CPSBB) in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, as a joint initiative of four Bulgarian research institutes located in Plovdiv (Center of Plant Systems Biology and Biotechnology, Maritsa Vegetable Crops Research Institute, the Stefan Angeloff Institute of Microbiology, Laboratory of Metabolomics and Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology) and two institutes located in Potsdam, Germany (Potsdam University and Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology).

The ambition of CPSBB is to stand at the forefront of plant sciences in Bulgaria and Eastern Europe by integrating molecular biology, functional genomics, metabolomics, bioinformatics, bioprocessing, and long-standing expertise in practical plant genetics and breeding, to unravel the plant biology and translating the scientific knowledge into new horticultural and industrial applications. Thus, the newly established CPSBB will fill in the scientific and technological gaps identified in the Smart Specialization Strategy (S3) of Bulgaria. Besides that, the CPSBB will take a leading role in educating next-generation early-stage researchers (ESR) in the fields of molecular breeding, plant systems biology and biotechnology.

Specific activities of CPSBB:

Fundamental research

Education and training

Public services (consultations to ministries, services to end users)

Applied research and transfer of research outcomes to the industry

TESTIMONIALSOur Customers Remember Our Good Service

I greatly appreciate the communication on the process, what we needed to do in terms of providing samples, what to expect. Novalab provided what we needed in terms of certification that we can use with our customers.
