The Cordinato team recently met with Dr. Murtoza, Principal Scientist at the Institute of Food Radiation and Radiation Biology (IFRRB) and in-charge of the Cobalt-60 Irradiation Centre in Savar, to discuss the growing importance of irradiation technology in Bangladesh.

During the meeting, Dr. Murtoza shared valuable technical knowledge and practical insights on how Cobalt-60 irradiation technology is contributing to the development of the country’s food and medical sectors.

Key areas of discussion included:

• Applications of irradiation in food preservation and food safety
• Reduction of microbial contamination and post-harvest losses
• Medical sterilization and healthcare-related applications
• The role of irradiation technology in supporting export-quality standards
• Opportunities for expanding commercial irradiation infrastructure in Bangladesh

Dr. Murtoza also highlighted the significance of scientific research, regulatory compliance, and technology awareness in accelerating the adoption of irradiation-based solutions across industries.

The session reflects Cordinato’s continued efforts to engage with scientific experts and institutions to support the commercialization and industrial implementation of advanced technologies in Bangladesh.
