Representatives of the British-Swedish pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca in Kazakhstan visited M. Kozybayev University. The guests familiarized themselves with the university's laboratory infrastructure. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Kazakhstan.
The university has laboratories for microbiology, multimodal microscopy, environmental toxicology and biodiversity, and water resources. One of the rooms houses advanced medical equipment.
As the only university in the region, we see such meetings as an important opportunity to develop communications and identify promising joint projects.
