Faculty Profile
Lab Facilities
Our lab is a unique space where medical science meets advanced technology. Here, students don't just learn how to run medical tests; they learn exactly how the machines work from the inside out. By combining clinical lab work with the study of electronics, students get hands-on experience with the sensors and circuits that power modern diagnostic tools. From mastering blood analysis and microbiology to troubleshooting the digital instruments and transducers used in hospitals, our students develop a complete "hands-on" understanding of healthcare technology. This ensures they graduate not just as operators, but as technical experts who truly understand the equipment and the precision required for patient care.
Clinical Chemistry Station: Featuring automated analyzers for metabolic panels, toxicology, and electrolyte testing.
Hematology & Coagulation Suite: Focused on blood cell morphology, automated cell counting, and clotting factor analysis.
Microbiology Hub: A dedicated space for culture cultivation, biochemical identification, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
Immunohematology (Blood Bank) Lab: Specialized for blood typing, cross-matching, and antibody identification.
Microscopy Center: High-resolution binocular microscopes equipped with digital imaging for advanced morphology study.
