ELMC&H always harness technology for the benefit of the masses, hence from time
to time we acquire the latest and the most advanced equipment’s which are rarely
available at other places. Presently we are providing PCR based detection of Mycobacterium
tuberculosis and HLA-B27 and in the near future we intend to expand our diagnostic
work.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB):
Presently we are engaged in TB detection using PCR in various samples like blood,
Cerebrospinal fluid, pleural fluid, bal fluid, synovial fluid, sputum , endometrial
tissue etc.

The Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA-B27):
HLA-B27 is strongly associated with ankylosing spondylitis and other associated
inflammatory diseases referred to as "spondyloarthropathies". We are engaged in
HLA-B27 detection through PCR in blood samples.
Molecular Biology Unit
- This unit is involved in the genetic-level research to gain
newer insights into the molecular mechanisms especially genetic polymorphism/expression
analysis underlying normal and abnormal molecular processes, and their relevance
as targets for improving health and combatting diseases.
- Available all facilities and instruments/machines required for
the execution of our research like PCR Machines, RT-PCR machine, Cooling Centrifuge,
Autoclave, Laminar Hood, Gel-Documentation system, Electrophoresis units etc.
- Extramural projects and publications in Journals of International
repute like JRAAS, Gene, Metagene, Journal of Biomedical Sciences, Opthalmic genetics
etc.
