GENERAL SANTOS CITY - Mindanao State University- General Santos City launches the 3.7 million worth Nutraceutical Laboratory with the inauguration ceremony Thursday, March 30, at the campus ground. | |||
The day was also the university’s 33rd Baccalaureate Services and Awards Ceremonies. | |||
Assistant Director of the Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Agricultural Resources (DA-BAR) and Guest Speaker Dr. Teodoro Solsoloy led the ribbon-cutting ceremony with Chancellor Abdurrahman Canacan and Vice- Chancellor for Academic Affairs Dr. Mary Lynn S. Abiera. | |||
Developing laboratories is one of the main thrust of DA-BAR. Solsoloy said there are good researchers but are nevertheless provided with insufficient laboratories. | |||
“There are studies which are just stuck in shelves, journals or publications. It’s time to explore more and prove more,” Solsoloy said. | |||
The Nutraceutical Laboratory, with its state-of-the-art equipment, aims to expose into a more comprehensive way various researches and studies on screen plant and animal resources for therapeutic properties. | |||
Chancellor Canacan expressed his heartfelt gratitude to DA-BAR for its support and partnership with the university. | |||
“This is not just a blessing but a big challenge for us,” Canacan said. | |||
Canacan hopes for the laboratory to be properly utilized by the students, the faculty and other users. | |||
Aside from aiding students on their studies, the laboratory was built also to benefit other researchers in the region to nurture their knowledge on environment for health and safety. | |||
Solsoloy said MSU-GSC is the perfect location for the laboratory and the ideal place to set up the laboratory considering it as the center of all universities and scientific communities in Mindanao. | |||
The laboratory can start its operation six months earlier than the targeted schedule speeded up by the faculty and university management joint efforts. | |||
Alumni Regent Dr. William R. Adan expressed his admiration to the performance of the university under the present administration. | |||
Research Director Dr. Edna Oconer said there will be no problem with the results of the tests in the laboratory as it is already complete with proper protocols. | |||
The nutraceutical building was a location for an old classroom. It was in summer 2011 when the university proposed the project to DA-BAR. | |||
The Nutraceutical Laboratory houses two rooms for different fields of specialization and is equipped with high-tech apparatuses. | |||
The first room is the Phytochemistry Room. It will cater the phytochemical screening of locally-found plants and animals in the region. The room accommodates different equipment for experiments to be conducted. | |||
The Bioassay Room will be used to check and house the specimens for the experiments and also equipped with modern apparatuses. | |||
