Research subsidies for MSc & PhD candidates
DNA Labs Nigeria supports postgraduate students and academic researchers across Nigerian universities with subsidised genetic sequencing, PCR assays, genotyping and cytogenetic analysis for thesis, dissertation and publication work.
Built for postgraduate research budgets
The subsidy programme is designed for registered MSc and PhD candidates — and for academic staff running funded research — who need accredited molecular analysis without commercial pricing.
Eligibility

- Academic researchers with a defined project requiring molecular or genetic assays.
- Projects with an approved topic and a supervisor willing to provide a recommendation letter.
- Sample volumes and target assays that can be scheduled alongside routine laboratory work.
What the subsidy includes
- Discounted assay pricing on sequencing, PCR, genotyping and related services.
- Pre-analysis consultation on sample type, collection method and study design feasibility.
- Documented quality controls — internal reference controls and external proficiency testing.
- Structured result reports suitable for thesis appendices and publication data.
- Optional academic acknowledgement support for resulting publications.
