Biotechnology is one of the most important sciences in today's world which includes application of various sciences in direct or indirect usage of living organisms or their byproducts in natural or modified forms for different fields. Significant advances of biotechnology in recent decades, especially after the acquisition of new methods of genetic engineering for gene isolation, their modification and transferring from one species to another are introduced biotechnology as one of the most productive present and future technologies. Iran with a wide variety of climate and the variety of living organisms is the most suitable region for access to technologies derived from biological sources. According to this point that management and planning in all fields, including biotechnology requires a good understanding of the researchers in that field, Therefore in this study attempted to identify researchers, institutes, universities and companies operating in various fields of biotechnology along with their research areas, To identify strengths and weaknesses of biotechnology to help for taking targeted decision in the province and the country. The results of this study showed that more than 40% of the province biotechnological activities related to agriculture, about 25% related to animal and 35% in the other sectors. The main activities in the agricultural biotechnology are related to the different growth conditions of plants. Study on the medicinal plants, Plant tissue culture and Transformed plant production are other activities in this section. Factors affecting the growth of livestock, animal health and livestock products are main activities related to animal biotechnology and also cloning of useful genes and control of pathogenic microorganisms in microbial biotechnology. Review, treatment, and diagnosis of genetic diseases through biotechnology in the medical field and finally the production of pharmaceutical products and the use of biotechnology in food industry are the activities which are carried out by researchers in various fields of biotechnology in East Azerbaijan Province. According to the results, activities related to environmental biotechnology especially industrial biotechnology are very few in East Azerbaijan Province that requires serious attention in this section.
