We were honored to host Dr. Mohammad Reza Rezapanah, Vice President and Council Member of the Technology Innovation Platform of IFOAM (TIPI), and President of the Confederation of Eurasian Organizations for Agricultural Development (CEOA) as well as the Association of Iranian Plant Protection Scientific Societies (AIPPSS) at MOLEN.
During his visit, we had the opportunity to discuss potential avenues for future collaboration in the areas of biological control, insect virology, and RNA interference-based pest management.
Prof. Rezapanah was introduced to the facilities of MOLEN, including our ongoing research projects and technological capacities. He also met with the MOLEN research team, including our enthusiastic graduate and undergraduate students, and exchanged insights about international trends in insect science.
This fruitful meeting not only laid the groundwork for future joint projects but also served as a motivational experience for our young researchers.
We extend our sincere thanks to Prof. Dr. Rezapanah for his visit and look forward to building strong academic collaborations in the near future.
