Overview of the Central Reference Lab

Dr. Dangs Lab (DDL) was established in 1983, under the expert guidance of Dr. Navin Dang and Dr. Manju Dang, both MDs in Microbiology and Pathology from the nationally eminent PGIMER, Chandigarh. Their legacy is now carried forward by Dr. Arjun Dang (CEO) and Dr. Manavi Dang (Co-CEO), both consultant pathologists, continuing a physician-led model of scientific and operational leadership rooted in quintessential quality diagnostics.

Since its inception, DDL has functioned as a doctor-driven reference laboratory delivering premium, high-quality diagnostic services, with a sustained emphasis on accuracy, reliability, and clinical relevance. Over the years, our lab has progressively expanded its scope into clinical trials, evolving into a central reference laboratory supporting extensive collaborations with renowned pharmaceutical companies, CROs, academic institutions, and global sponsors. This has led to contributions in more than 70 clinical studies across vaccines and multiple therapeutic areas.

As an NABL-accredited lab since its early years, DDL was among the first laboratories in India to achieve this certification. Our central lab strictly adheres to ISO 15189:2022 and operates under GCLP guidelines, reinforcing our robust quality systems designed to support reliable, audit-ready, regulatory compliance.
