MGM Center For Genetic Research & Diagnosis

M.G.M Center for Genetic research & Diagnosis is fully equipped with high - end instruments and extensively trained staff in the field, providing comprehensive diagnostic services under one roof. With state of the art infrastructure, including the most advanced high throughput technologies and instruments and a nationally/internationally known scientist in the helm of affairs, this laboratory promises to provide a real solution to the diagnosis of undiagnosed illness.

Ultimate aim of the lab would be eradication of birth defects/genetic disorders through accurate diagnosis, genetic counseling and further research.

M.G.M.'s New Bombay Hospital maintain international standard and hold the dignity of patients at the highest order. The laboratory is working under the able stewardship of Dr. Mrs. Bani Bandana Ganguly, PhD who is a renowned scientist with a number of research publications.

M.G.M Center for Genetic Research and Diagnosis is 'one stop lab' for:
