Modern biology labs in 22 cities and Pakistan's first lab on wheels. Learn science by doing it.
VU Bio Lab is the practical home of the Department of Biological Sciences. Students of Biotechnology, Bioinformatics and Zoology do their practicals here, with modern instruments and trained lab staff.
Our aim is simple: every student, in every city, should hold a pipette and look through a microscope.
Six areas where students learn by doing.
DNA extraction, PCR and gel electrophoresis.
Aseptic technique, culture plates and Gram staining.
Plant and animal cells, mitosis under the microscope.
pH, buffers, sugar and protein tests.
Blood groups, blood smears and ELISA.
Museum specimens, dissection and animal diversity.
VU started Pakistan's first customised mobile biology lab. It travels from city to city and runs real practicals in remote areas.
Do your practical at the lab nearest to you.
