The Latvian Association of Biotechnology
The Latvian Association of Biotechnology (LAB) was created as the first Latvian biotech network last summer, today we are 11 members, both from industry and science.
Main applications of biotechnological methods and products are food processing, biomedicine, pharmacy, agriculture and environment.
