The Life Sciences Testing Center is both a CLIA- and CAP-accredited clinical laboratory that focuses on technology, innovation, and partnership at the intersection of workforce development, entrepreneurship and use-inspired research. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this lab was responsible for testing on the NU campus and communities. Since that time it has transitioned its testing capacity.

The research component of this laboratory examines pathogen detection such as that found during wastewater monitoring, as well as bioassay development and clinical study support. The training programs focus on med tech and clinical research scientist programs.
