Iran Ranks 13th in World in Number of Biotechnology Articles

Iran ranks first among the regional states by a significant margin, followed by Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt which indicates Iran's significant progress and leadership in the field of science and technology.

With the increase in the publication of articles, Iran has achieved significant progress by having 1,480 knowledge-based companies in the field of biotechnology and health, ranking 8th in the world in the field of regenerative medicine.

Also, by producing more than 1,000 biotechnology-based products in the fields of medicine, agriculture, industry, and the environment, Iran ranks 5th in Asia and first in the region.

Head of Iran’s biotechnology association had said in 2023 that the country’s researchers succeeded in producing different types of biotechnology medicine and exporting them to foreign states.

Sirous Zeynali made the remarks at the inauguration ceremony of the 5th International Conference and 13th National Biotechnology Conference in Iran.

“Although biotechnology is younger than the pharmaceutical industry, today we see that the largest part of Iran’s medical exports is biotechnology-based drugs produced by knowledge-based companies,” he said.

Iran has taken wide strides in development of biotechnological sciences.
