Supporting Science through COVID-19, 11th May 2020!
Weekly highlights from #SupportingScience through COVID-19
Behind every COVID-19 test result there is a Medical Laboratory Scientist or Technician playing a vital role. At Baker, we are here to support the highly skilled and dedicated people working in Patient Care, Clinical and Research careers who are helping to make our world a safer place. It is now more important than ever to #SupportScience on a global scale!
1. COVID Neutralizing Antibody
