IUB’s lab receives crystallisation kits

BAHAWALPUR: The Institute of Integrative Biology, University of Liverpool, UK has donated a significant amount of crystallisation kits to the Materials Chemistry Laboratory at The Islamia University of Bahawalpur (IUB).

In continuation of the ongoing collaboration, Vice-Chancellor Dr Athar Mahboob handed over this equipment to Dr Maqsood Ahmad Incharge Materials Chemistry Laboratory during a ceremony.

These kits will be used by the research groups at IUB to crystallise various target proteins to determine their 3D structures for structure-based drug design. Having a critical mass of trained scientists in this vital area of research becomes even more important as the new diseases continue to emerge.
