The University of Guyana, in partnership with the Greater Guyana Initiative (GGI), yesterday launched two cutting-edge molecular laboratories.

The event took place at the Hogben-Drayton Math and Science Building, Turkeyen Campus.

The two labs – a Medi-cal Diagnostics Laboratory within the College of Medical Sciences and a DNA Barcoding Labora-tory under the Faculty of Natural Sciences’ Centre for the Study of Biological Diversity – represent a major step forward in the capacity for medical diagnostics and biodiversity research. These facilities will contribute to advanced healthcare solutions and the preservation of Guyana’s rich biological diversity, aligning with the University’s commitment to national development.
