SUFFOLK, Va. (WAVY) – The Hampton Roads Biomedical Research Consortium (HRBRC) is set to hold the grand opening for its new facility on Apr. 7.
The new state-of-the-art facility, located at 1040 University Blvd, aims to address health disparities, jumpstart science research and advance biohealth innovations in Hampton Roads.
The facility’s manager, Patrick Ball, said new technology that HRBRC’s lab received allows researchers to create realistic body parts within a quick turnaround time.
