Today, the effectiveness of genetic engineering and biotechnology on production of live organs is wonderful. Biotechnology as a technique which uses biological systems to produced modified materials has been evolved to molecular biotechnology through application of genetics and genetic engineering. In particular, application of molecular biology in gamete reproduction and embryo development is considerable. On one hand, rapid advancement of genetics and biotechnology and its application in modern reproductive methods, embryonic stem cells and embryo on the other have opened a new horizon in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Transgenic technology, cloning, PGD, cell gene therapy are among the new applied techniques which highlight the necessity of this department.
