Human Genetic Laboratory (HGL) carries out research on the genetic diseases mainly in haemoglobinopathies and diabetes. The infrastructure of lab enable to conduct Molecular studies, which encompasses Thermal Cycler, Electrophoresis Assembly, Deep Freezer, Incubator, Centrifuge, Microscope and other necessary apparatus. The lab is presently working on molecular analysis, diagnosis and toxicological studies and runs under the supervision and guidance of a Scientist (Dr. Abin Mani, Ph.D.) and Lab Technician (Ms. Neha Sarathe BMLT, M.Sc.). The lab runs projects on Human Microbiome and investigates the function and association of regulatory gene on diversity and disease in human.
