Stellenbosch University s (SU) Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences recently launched the Biomedical Research Institute (BMRI) Research Bronchoscopy Suite, housed within the Division of Molecular Biology and Human Genetics.
“The BMRI Research Bronchoscopy facility will pave the way for site-of-disease research for lung diseases, particularly tuberculosis, Prof Gerhard Walzl, head of the Division of Molecular Biology and Human Genetics said at the launch.
“The physical proximity of the facility to advanced microbacteriology, immunology and genomic research groups and laboratories of the new BMRI facility, and its proximity to established community-based research sites with a high TB-disease prevalence, unlocks major research opportunities of international importance.
