Results of research and application of biotechnology

Building gene banks with more than 100 dangerous dark microorganism strains; identify plague, cholera, typhoid; assessing martyrs' remains; treatment of male infertility.

That was the result of the report of the Military Medical Academy, Ministry of Defense, which had successfully implemented in the preliminary program of 3 years of implementing the program " Biotechnology in the period 2005-2008 " in Hanoi on June 6 8 past.

The program aims to receive and master major biotechnology, deploying a strong application of technology to create high quality biological products for socio-economic development and environmental protection. school

Thereby forming and developing small and medium bio-industrial enterprises, trading in biotechnology products for consumption and export. Products of plant cell biomass, Kit to diagnose venomous snake snakes, drug-resistant tuberculosis, hepatitis B replace imported goods, reasonable prices.

Although the main goal is to serve national security, the program has also created many biologically useful bi-product products for high-value communities that help diagnose the presence of HPV in the cervix. , early diagnosis and screening of cancers (gastrointestinal cancer, lung cancer), culture and differentiation of amniotic cells and umbilical cord to replace organs when sick, preserved and developed Genetic resources of rare and endangered medicinal plants (Ngoc Linh gin, Hau Thu mushroom, red pine .), genetic diagnosis in fetus from 7 weeks old by QF-PCR technique, DNA analysis Embryonic circulation circulates peripheral blood Mother found 6 groups of chromosomes before and after birth.

Approximately 30 products are applied, of which 8 products are in the form of drugs and functional products, 1 product is doing export procedures such as Tanaka tea, Emorning tea anti-aging, preventing atherosclerosis, High benefits. CM8 brain location, Herbavera Cream treat wounds and burns.

The program has been granted 9 exclusive diplomas, of which 'Method of producing Ngoc Linh ginseng root cell fertilization' has been granted a patent in February 2009.

Currently, Military Medical Academy continues to conduct research cooperation with universities of Japan, Germany, Singapore, Korea, Russia . about biotechnology and gene technology. Many topics of Military Medical Academy are being implemented under the Protocol with famous universities of countries (Japan: molecular mechanism study of Alzermer and Pakinson's disease 2008-2010).

Emphasizing the importance of biotechnology, Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Tran Quoc Thang said that this is one of four areas that need special priority, support for the development of national security, need to go deep into the public. technology in the field of high technology, research of stem cells to treat critical diseases. Moreover, it is necessary to establish a hematology and blood transfusion center to study blood and blood replacement products to address the problem of severe anemia today.

In the next phase, the Military Medical Academy continues to promote the study of natural toxins, perfecting the process of snake venom resistance, studying cancer treatment drugs; HIV / AISD, cultivating sperm-forming stem cells into sperm for treating male infertility, in treating wounds and burns.
