BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH CENTER

The Sohail University has taken a leap forward to enrich its educational resources, by setting up Biomedical Research Centre (BRC). The Centre is temperature controlled research facility being established at 7th floor in Medicare Hospital. It is, divided into cell culture, molecular biology, biochemistry and cell biology sections. The Centre is equipped with state of the art laboratory equipment and has following features:
