국립호남권생물자원관 bobic
As the demand from academia and industry for biological resources has increased since the Nagoya Protocol entered into force, banks of bioresources that can obtain, manage, and use biomaterials systematically and effectively are needed.
The Bank of Bioresources from Island and Coast (BOBIC) of the HNIBR integrates banks of cultures, genetic resources,
and natural products for the efficient management, preservation, and distribution of biomaterials.
The BOBIC effectively preserves, manages, and distributes biomaterials discovered in islands and coastal areas in Korea
and aims to contribute to research and development of the life science industry.
