Zambart marked this year’s International Laboratory Week by hosting students from the University of Zambia Biomedical Society (UNZABIOMEDSA), creating a platform to inspire the next generation of laboratory professionals and researchers.
Held under the theme “Infinity and Beyond for Our Patients,” the event highlighted the critical role laboratories play in improving patient care and advancing public health research. The visit featured a guided laboratory tour and a laboratory-based study marketplace, offering students a firsthand look into Zambart’s work and the technologies driving innovation in diagnostics and research.
Welcoming the students, Zambart Executive Director Dr. Kwame Shanaube emphasised the importance of laboratory science in shaping better health outcomes for communities.
“Every test, every result, and every discovery contributes to improving lives. As scientists and future professionals, you have the opportunity to push boundaries and take public health beyond what we know today.”
The engagement provided an opportunity for students to interact with professionals, gain practical insights, and explore potential career pathways in biomedical and public health research.
Through initiatives such as these, Zambart continues to invest in capacity building and mentorship, nurturing future scientists and reinforcing its mission to advance public health and develop world-class researchers.
