The Life Sciences Testing Center (LSTC) was founded in July of 2020 to meet the testing needs of Northeastern’s ambitious reopening plan, by providing regular and accessible testing to the Northeastern community. Samples are delivered to the LSTC for high-complexity molecular testing, returning COVID-19 test results within 12-48 hours of sample collection.
With close to 80 staffers and a testing capacity of approximately 15,000 tests per day, the LSTC is well positioned to meet the rising challenges of operating in a pandemic-affected higher education landscape.
