Taking Science & Biotechnology to the Community!

The Sri Lanka Institute of Biotechnology (SLIBTEC) proudly joined the celebrations of National Science Week, with the main goal of bringing science and biotechnology closer to the public and supporting the dissemination of scientific knowledge within our community.

We were delighted to take part in the Science Walk organized by the Industrial Technology Institute (ITI), carrying a message on the importance of biotechnology, joining fellow science institutes of Sri Lanka and on a journey that highlighted the power of research, discovery, and innovation in shaping a better future.

SLIBTEC also welcomed two groups of university students, representing Digimeet Education and the Faculty of Engineering Technology, The Open University of Sri Lanka, offering them an immersive experience through insightful presentations and visits to the state-of-the-art laboratory facilities at SLIBTEC. Their curiosity and enthusiasm remind us why nurturing the next generation of scientists is so crucial for Sri Lanka’s biotech-driven future.

At SLIBTEC, we believe that science thrives when shared, and biotechnology becomes meaningful when it reaches the people it aims to transform.

🌱🧬 World Science Day 2025 – Celebrating the Power of Biotechnology to Shape Our Future! 🌍
At SLIBTEC, we believe biotechnology is the bridge between imagination and impact — a catalyst transforming ideas into solutions that strengthen health, agriculture, industry, and the environment. Every discovery, every innovation, and every young scientist contributes to building a more resilient, knowledge-driven Sri Lanka.
Our mission is to develop biotechnology products contributing to increase the value of the hi-tech component of Sri Lankan manufactured exports to 1% by 2030 — positioning biotechnology as a key driver of the national bioeconomy.
As the world moves toward a sustainable, innovation-led future, SLIBTEC proudly leads the way in advancing biotechnology research, product development, and technology transfer for national growth and global competitiveness.
To our scientific community and undergraduates, your creativity, curiosity, and commitment are vital to this journey. Together, let’s shape a future where Sri Lankan biotechnology thrives on the global stage.

🌟 Closing the Chapter on a Remarkable Journey! 🌟
We successfully concluded the Symposium on “Elevating Infectious Disease Research in Developing Nations with Spectral Flow Cytometry: Insights and Applications” — a day that united brilliant minds, inspiring ideas, and impactful scientific exchange.
From engaging oral and poster presentations to insightful group discussions and feedback sessions, participants showcased exceptional research and collaboration. The event was further enriched by the inspiring address of our Chief Guest, Dr Sudath Samaraweera, Chairman, National Science Foundation of Sri Lanka, whose insights emphasized the importance of innovation in infectious disease research.
The day wrapped up with an exciting award ceremony and heartfelt closing remarks by Dr Peshala Gunasekara, Scientific Organizer, whose dedication and leadership made this event a true success.
This achievement reflects the strong team spirit of the entire SLIBTEC staff — whose hard work and enthusiasm brought every detail together under the guidance and support of Ms Amali Ranasinghe, Chief Operating Officer of SLIBTEC, whose direction was instrumental throughout this journey.
👏 A heartfelt thank-you to all presenters, guests, and participants for joining us on this journey of discovery and collaboration. Together, we continue to advance biotechnology and infectious disease research for a healthier future! 🌍💡
