• Cancer Treatment with targeted nanoparticles
• Formulation of protein and peptide drug delivery systems
• Analysis of drugs and herbal substances, such as saffron
• Drug resistance mechanisms in cancer
• Biofilms and the effects of drugs on them

Human being is always exploring the unknown and making great efforts to get better understanding of the surrounding world. The invention of an instrument, a method, a treatment, a drug, or any other novel things pushes the human being towards evolution and completion, especially if these inventions are conducted in the field of medical sciences and their reciprocal effects are accompanied by modern technology. This will lead to the development of technologies, utilization of live beings to make or manipulate products, promotion of plant or animal quality, and alteration of microorganism characteristics for special applications.

Bu Ali Research Institute formally commenced its activities more than a decade ago with the purpose of education and research in the field of biotechnology, especially in domains related to pharmacy and medicine. The scope of research in this institute ranges from investigating the effects of natural agents with plant offspring on human tumor cell to using spotted nanoparticles, and biofilms, as well as examining the effects of drugs. With an emphasis on the treatment of special diseases, this center has considered making efforts in finding drug resistance mechanisms for cancer, analysis of drugs, effective herbaceous materials, and formula of peptide and protein drugs. Ultimately, it should be noted that this center trains Ph.D. students with the purpose of educating experts and experienced individuals in order to take another vital step for the development of medical sciences.
