Welcome to the Laboratory of
Molecular Genetics
We are a team of molecular biologists, biochemists, geneticists and
biotechnologists engaged in research and
development on human genetics and molecular biotechnology.
We provide molecular diagnostic services for the Malta department of
Health and other clients for the following hereditary conditions;
- Thalassaemia and other haemoglobinopathies
- Cystic Fibrosis
- Gangliosidosis
- Coagulopathies.
- others will be added in due course.
