If you have any questions or wish to discuss possible collaborations with VIP CORALS, you may drop by the Research Office, 4th floor, CIRTC and look for our center head, Dr. Jayvee Ablaña Saco. Students may also request permission to use the equipment housed on the 2nd floor Bio labs for research and study purposes.
