Sunrise™ in Mongolia - News Press Release | PharmiWeb.com: "An amazing collaboration between staff from Tecan, Children’s Hospital Boston, and Brigham and Women’s Hospital has resulted in the donation of a Tecan Sunrise™ microplate reader to Mongolian medical researchers, assisting their studies of vitamin D levels in the general population.
Dr Janet Rich-Edwards, Associate Professor at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts, US, explained: “The Health Sciences University of Mongolia has been investigating vitamin D deficiency in Mongolian people and, with no readily available vitamin D assay, were forced to transport frozen samples to the US for testing, which was a logistical nightmare and a huge barrier to research. Gary Bradwin, Manager at the Clinical and Epidemiologic Laboratory (CERLab), Children’s Hospital Boston, became involved, volunteering his time to help Mongolian scientists set up and perform vitamin D assays themselves.”"
