Medical Diagnostic Laboratories
Medical Diagnostic Laboratories (MDL) play a crucial role in the healthcare system, providing vital information that guides the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases. These specialized facilities are equipped with advanced technologies and staffed by skilled professionals, including pathologists, medical technologists, and lab technicians. They conduct a wide range of tests on samples like blood, urine, tissue, and other body fluids to detect and measure specific components, pathogens, or genetic markers. These tests range from routine blood counts and cholesterol checks to more complex analyses like genetic sequencing and biomarker detection for cancer. The accurate and timely results from these laboratories not only aid in diagnosing and monitoring diseases but also help in evaluating the effectiveness of treatments, thereby playing a key role in personalized medicine.
MDL is comprised of experts in the fields of Molecular Biology, Immunology, Virology, Microbiology, Mycology, Pharmacogenomics, Antimicrobial Resistance and Oncology. In addition to developing and validating new clinical diagnostic tests, the Research and Development Department also publishes research projects in peer-reviewed journals, presents scientific information at international symposia, and performs contractual research work for major commercial, governmental, and academic organizations.
