Throughout the 2024/2025 academic year, the Faculty of Biotechnology has been marking 40 years of a journey defined by both challenges and achievements. This is a story built through the dedication and collaboration of individuals and institutions who share with us a commitment to Science, Knowledge, and Service to the Community.

As these celebrations draw to a close, we wish to pay tribute to 40 individuals and institutions that have played — and continue to play — a significant role in our development. It will be a moment to honour the past, value the present, and lay the foundations for the School’s future.
