A new medicinal plant and pharmaceuticals laboratory has been commissioned at the Institute of Botany, Plant Physiology, and Genetics of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan, the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan reported.
The laboratory's work will focus on a comprehensive study of domestic medicinal plants. Scientists intend to investigate their chemical composition and biological properties, as well as develop modern technologies for the production of medicines and pharmaceuticals.
The laboratory's main areas of activity include pharmacodiagnostics, pharmacochemistry, phytochemistry, botany, and the cultivation of medicinal plants. Research in these areas will be conducted taking into account advances in modern medicine and the rich scientific and medical heritage of Abu Ali ibn Sina.
The laboratory's main goal is to comprehensively study Tajikistan's natural medicinal resources and develop competitive domestic pharmaceutical products.
At the same time, the laboratory plans to gradually implement scientific advances into practical applications. This work involves studying and using herbal remedies based on the principles of natural pharmacology, natural diagnostics, and natural therapy—naturopathy.
As noted in the statement, this activity is in line with Tajikistan's state policy on science and healthcare development, as well as the efficient use of the country's natural resources. The research is expected to contribute to the production of domestic medicines.
At the laboratory's opening ceremony, it was noted that creating favorable conditions for the work of scientists and researchers, opening new laboratories, and equipping them with modern equipment, instruments, and technologies are among the priority areas of state scientific policy.
The National Academy of Sciences emphasized that this work is being carried out with the ongoing support and attention of Tajik President Emomali Rahmon.
Over the past two years, with the support and initiative of the country's leadership and the National Academy of Sciences, 54 new modern laboratories have been commissioned at the Academy's research institutions.
All new laboratories are equipped with modern scientific technology, equipment, and technology. This creates the conditions for conducting fundamental and applied research, implementing scientific findings in production, training highly qualified specialists, and expanding scientific collaboration with domestic and international research centers.
