The IFBBC aims to create, test and enable the scaling of effective solutions and evidence-based approaches to a defined set of future critical global trends impacting food biosafety and biotechnology. This center was established in October 2017 as a result of the academic collaboration between Hacettepe University (HU), an institute of higher education located in Ankara, Turkey and Michigan State University (MSU), an institute of higher education located in East Lansing, Michigan, United States of America. This cooperation includes both local authorities and HU and MSU researchers, and no other center has been established under the international cooperation agreement which continues to work in the field of Food Biosafety and Biotechnology.
