Waves of praise for Lighthouse Labs scientists
University staff and students have been recognised for their role in helping to establish the Alderley Park Lighthouse Laboratory in Cheshire, a key part of the Government’s COVID-19 testing strategy.
The ‘super-lab’, part of the largest diagnostics network in UK history, was created from scratch in March and required an army of scientifically-trained volunteers, to help increase the UK’s COVID-19 testing capacity.
Twenty-six staff and postgraduate research students, from the Faculties of Biological Science and Medicine and Health, offered to help.
