Molecular Genetics
PSG Center for Molecular Medicine and Therapeutics is an exclusive center located in the premises of PSG IMSR and Hospitals, thus fostering an interdisciplinary approach to biological research and also offers molecular diagnostic service. Recently, diagnostic division of CMMT is accredited by NABL for carrying out molecular genetic tests and enumeration of CD4 and CD8 in blood samples using single platform flow cytometry based technology.
