Med Biotech Laboratories

Med Biotech Laboratories is a Uganda-based health research company/laboratory in Kampala focused on infectious diseases, particularly malaria and neglected tropical diseases. Publicly available evidence links the organization to Gates Foundation-funded work on maternal immunization strategies intended to protect infants against malaria and to diagnostic sample-preservation tools for soil-transmitted helminth infections. The group has also been involved in malaria vaccine research in collaboration with external academic and research partners, including work associated with the BK-SE36/CpG malaria vaccine in Uganda. Med Biotech Laboratories appears to operate primarily as a research-driven biotech organization rather than a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company, and limited public information is available on its corporate structure, financing, and commercial products.
