Molecular Diagnostic Laboratory

Molecular diagnostic laboratory established under Microbiology Department in  IGGMC Nagpur in 2025,a special project run by tha Government of Maharashtra.The main purpose of a molecular laboratory at this government institute is typically to support diagnostics,research and the development of innovative treatments or solutions in healthcare. These laboratories use molecular techniques like RTPCR (Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction)  to study genetic material (DNA and RNA).

The molecular lab can thus play a crucial role in improving public health, advancing scientific understanding, and fostering innovation in biotechnology.

Specific functions may include:

1. Disease Diagnostics: Identifying pathogens (bacteria, viruses and ) genetic mutations.

2. Public Health Monitoring: Monitoring outbreaks, tracking disease trends, and ensuring public health safety.

3. Research: Advancing scientific knowledge in genetics, genomics, molecular biology, and related studies.
