Okla. Gov. Fallin helps open genetics laboratory

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin has helped open a new genetics laboratory on the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center campus.

The lab opened Thursday and will be used for genetic testing and research to advance the diagnosis and treatment of diseases in children. Researchers say the site is more than twice the size of the school’s old genetics lab space and will allow researchers to expand their work.
