Advancing Diagnostic Science Through Research, Innovation and Collaboration

At National Path Lab and Research Center, we believe that every diagnostic test generates an opportunity to learn, improve, and contribute to better healthcare which is why the NPL Research Wing brings together clinicians, laboratory scientists, researchers, and academic partners to generate evidence, strengthen diagnostic practices, and translate laboratory findings into meaningful health outcomes.

Driven by a commitment to high-quality, ethical science, we align our research focus with Nepal’s pressing health priorities. By fostering data-driven insights and partnering with medical colleges, universities, and health institutions, NPLRC works to bridge laboratory science with improved patient care and public health practices across Nepal.
