The Biotechnology Program is an initiative of the Pacific Biosciences Research Center (PBRC). Established in 1988 as a joint activity of PBRC and the Hawaii Institute of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources, the Biotechnology Program has undertaken several large federally funded interdisciplinary projects in biotechnology and molecular biology. It has also established a research support core facility, the Biotechnology/Molecular Biology Instrumentation and Training Facility or Biotech Core. The Core has been recently renamed to the Greenwood Molecular Biology Facility (GMBF) in commemoration of Professor Frederick C. Greenwood, its founder. GMBF provides services, products, consultation and technical support in the area of biochemistry and molecular biology to the research community in Hawaii. Since 1994, PBRC has been solely responsible for the Biotechnology Program. For more information visit the Biotechnology Program Website
