The Center for Biotechnology and Plant Conservation was founded in 2020 at the proposal and initiative of the Department of Plant Physiology and Molecular Biology. The main idea of ​​the Center's development is the application of fundamental knowledge in plant physiology, molecular biology and biotechnology. The work of the Center involves teachers and associates from the Department of Plant Physiology and Molecular Biology, as well as other departments.

The two areas in which the Center is developing its activities are biotechnology and conservation. So far, the Center has participated in the implementation of six innovation vouchers financed by the Innovation Fund.

The Center has established cooperation with several domestic companies that deal with various aspects of biotechnology. Within the Center, a large number of teachers also deal with the conservation physiology of non-vascular and vascular plants. The most important conservation aspect is reflected in the active protection of rare and endangered bryophyte species. The members of the Center carry out their activities within the Institute of Botany and the Botanical Garden "Jevremovac".
