| About our Lab Technicians |
| |
 |
Kathy Johnson has a BS degree in
Biology from Framingham State |
| We have 3 laboratory technicians
who work in alternating shifts to cover the majority of the day
and evening hours. All of our lab technicians are
highly trained and meticulous in their work and have taken additional
training in microbiology techniques to allow us to grow bacterial & fungal
cultures in-house . |
