It aims to enhance the role of universities and research institutions in developing projects that align with global research fields and trends.
The center includes 26 laboratories, among them six chemistry labs, six physics labs, and 14 biology labs, each featuring a tissue culture room. The center also houses a database center and 20 animal incubators with all the necessary equipment, including operating and sterilization rooms.
The research center provides research, training, and consul

It focuses on lifestyle and health behaviors through lifestyle and health research management, which aims to bridge the local and regional gap in this field by conducting research, providing training, raising public awareness, and facilitating knowledge transfer related to lifestyle and health research. This is done by incorporating it into both curricular and extracurricular training programs at schools and universities, creating electronic resources for research tools in lifestyle and health, organizing scientific conferences, workshops, and training courses, and attracting scientists and researchers.
