about us
Serving the people through research
The Pathogen-Host-Environment Interactions Research Laboratory (PHEIRL), formerly Molecular Protozoology Laboratory (MPL), is the first and only laboratory in the Philippines devoted to the characterization of molecular mechanisms of pathogenicity of protozoan parasites. In keeping with its commitment to advancing public health through integrated pathogen-host-environment research, the laboratory has since expanded its scope to include pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Leptospira, and Salmonella.
