IFAIN operates one of the most advanced infectious disease research laboratories in West Africa — housing specialist equipment that enables rapid molecular diagnostics, antimicrobial resistance surveillance, haematology screening, and long-term biobanking.
Our Capability
IFAIN's laboratory capability is the foundation of every study we conduct. Our investment in specialist equipment — much of it among the very few in West Africa — allows us to generate data of the quality expected by international journals, global health funders, and regulatory bodies.
From automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing to multiplex PCR capable of identifying 20+ pathogens simultaneously, our facilities enable the kind of rigorous, reproducible science that translates into policy change and clinical practice.
