The aims of the present interdisciplinary research group include the use of various specialties and trends related to bioactive compounds with natural or synthetic origins. A wide range of related activities include the discovery or production of bioactive compounds from natural resources and their recombinant methods, extraction, analysis, structure determination, engineering, and manipulation of them from small to macromolecules and from four major sources.

The primary goals of this group are outlined in the fields of:

• Design and fabrication of sensors for industrial and medical applications

• Identification, development of technical knowledge, and production of bioactive compounds from native bio-Iranian resources and action to commercialize them with emphasis on antioxidant and anti-cancer properties. The aligning of this program with the country's macro-policies justifies the formation of this group at the Tarbiat Modares University
