Administrative\/Biographical Note<\/h1>\n

The Maryland Biotechnology Institute was authorized at the University of Maryland by the General Assembly in 1985. It brought together different research disciplines across the biotechnology field within the University System of Maryland and provided expertise along with exceptional facilities for training, research, and development. The Institute comprised four unique research centers that collaborated and cooperated with various other government and academic institutions. The Institute was closed and restructured in 2010.<\/p>\n
