State of the art Genetic Lab for Sri Lanka
In collaboration with the Sri Lankan Twin Registry project and King's College, London we are about to open this modern genetic laboratory equipped with a fully automated gene sequencer. We will support and collaborate with those who wish to conduct their research within the country as opposed to exporting genetic material abroad.
The lab will be available for genetic research work as well as other related work such as medical diagnostic and forensic services in Sri Lanka. Although the funding for the establishment of this project was originally for the twin based study of common mental disorders of the Sri Lankan Twin Registry, the infrastructure would be utilized for future development of the country.
