To achieve its goals, the center built up a network of biotech experts and supported the development of laboratories in academic institutions.

BIOTEC also supported the competency enhancement of personnel in the biotechnology field by granting scholarships for master's and doctoral degrees.

As new technology quickly evolved, BIOTEC worked in collaboration with several institutions in Thailand to achieve biotechnology excellence.

While its new technologies and discoveries have been transferred and applied for the benefit of private companies and the public, especially in rural communities, enhancement of the competency of personnel in the biotechnology field remains its focus.

Some laboratories act as stand-alone research centers in their own right, while others are collaborative ventures set up jointly with government agencies and universities.
