Iowa State University's Office of Biotechnology celebrates its 25^th anniversary throughout 2009. The Office of Biotechnology was established in 1984 to develop a biotechnology initiative with five Iowa State University colleges: Agriculture, Engineering, Home Economics, Science and Humanities, and Veterinary Medicine. Biotechnology is defined as the application of molecular biology to the development of useful products and processes.

The 25-year milestone will be celebrated during 2009 through special publications and events. For more information, please phone the office at (515) 294-9818, e-mail biotech@iastate.edu or visit the 25^th anniversary Web site at www.biotech.iastate.edu.
