Dr. Tabuena's journey to excellence in the field of pulmonology was marked by a commitment to pushing the boundaries of medical science. His research focused on innovative treatments for pulmonary diseases. One of his most notable contributions was the Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Test Kit (TB Lamp) for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis was introduced in hospitals in Iloilo City. Aside from being less expensive than commercially available device, the TB Lamp is also easier to use in that it can give results in just 60 minutes. It also adheres to the same biosafety requirements that applies to the microscopy sputum smears, which normally takes three days in the traditional procedure. Essentially, the TB lamp gives a relatively high throughput and does not require sophisticated instruments. dost.gov.ph
