The scientific and educational activity is based on co-operation with almost all the domestic universities of technology and agriculture and with many foreign centers. UTP cooperates with many companies and participates in preparing regional strategy for cooperation with industry.
The Animal Biotechnology and Genetics Department has the expertise to employ molecular biology, transcriptome analysis, immunocytochemistry, fluorescence microscopy, image analysis, tissue and cell culture, cells manipulation (isolation, genetic modification, introduction into recipient) and in ovo technology to answer questions related to the application of avian biotechnology to biomedicine and agriculture. It has a wide experience on poultry research, including use of in ovo technology for immunomodulation and improvement of performance, acquired through several national and international projects. NGS is implemented for immunogenetics studies in chickens.
The Technology Transfer Center has a wide expertise in promoting partnerships between University and private companies, facilitating the transfer of academic research outputs to the private sector companies. It supports the commercialisation of the research work and encourages entrepreneurs to establish cooperation with the scientific community, as well as to use the research offer carried out at the faculties of the University of Technology and Life Sciences in Bydgoszcz.
