Parasitology Laboratory
Interactions between Schistosome Species
Snails are the main host for all schistosome species. By studying these creatures in their niche, we are better equipped at creating mechanisms for preventing the growth of these schistomes which cause a great ordeal for humans.
Culture Lab
The Centre is equipped to carryout in-vitro/tests tube experiments using cells or microorganisms. The facility has a lamina flux and incubators which assist in in-vitro research.
Bioterium
One of our most invaluable facilities in which animal research is being carried out in environmental, health and nutritional controlled conditions.
Biochemistry Laboratory
Our biochemistry facility is equipped to carryout throughput scientific techniques such as gel electrophoresis, PCR, and mass spectrometry
