Thank you to our VTM team

BY IGB Communications

The IGB has been proud to help support the efforts to make COVID-19 testing more broadly available to those in need. Our recent efforts to create Viral Transport Medium (VTM) in mass quantities to facilitate testing in the state of Illinois have been very successful, with upwards of 35,000 vials produced each week in the IGB labs. Such a massive effort has required the perseverance of many dedicated individuals working closely with a team of faculty, and we recognize them for their tireless work to keep these efforts safely and efficiently coordinated. Without the following individuals, this would not have been able to take place. Thank you for all that you do, and continue to do.
