The registration deadline for Mayo Clinic Laboratories Education’s first-ever virtual phlebotomy workshop on Oct. 1 is fast approaching. Register today.

Join us for a webinar exploring the revolutionary way SAAmplify™–αSYN testing, which is offered by Mayo Clinic Laboratories in collaboration with Amprion, is improving diagnostic accuracy for patients with neurodegenerative disorders.

Review five crucial patient safety practices that everyone can utilize to promote patient safety.

Anastasia Zekeridou, M.D., Ph.D., explains how Mayo Clinic Laboratories' updated panels and methodology boost the accuracy and efficiency of testing for three autoimmune neurology biomarkers. Early diagnosis is key to managing debilitating conditions associated with these antibodies.

Mayo Clinic Laboratories’ BioPharma Diagnostics team facilitates specimen collections and access to archived samples to support clinical trials and diagnostic validation projects that advance healthcare. In this collaboration example, learn how BioPharma Diagnostics helped a research healthcare company evaluate the clinical performance of three assays designed to aid in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and other causes of cognitive impairment.

In this episode of #LabMedicineRounds, Justin Kreuter, M.D., interviews Ashima Makol, M.B.B.S., for National Scleroderma Awareness Month, including a discussion about lab medicine's important role in diagnosis.

In this episode of “Answers From the Lab,” host Bobbi Pritt, M.D., chair of the Division of Clinical Microbiology at Mayo Clinic, is joined by William Morice II, M.D., Ph.D., CEO and president of Mayo Clinic Laboratories. They discuss why measles remains a virus of concern, how avian flu continues to spread, and new developments in the federal regulation of laboratory-developed tests.

Divyanshu Dubey, M.B.B.S., explains how Mayo Clinic Laboratories' unique PDE10A and TRIM46 tests facilitate the management of central nervous system disorders triggered by cancers. Early diagnosis and treatment are important for managing disabling neurological symptoms and malignancy.

This page includes updates posted to Mayo Clinic Labs during the month of May.

Central nervous system infections, such as meningitis and encephalitis, can be devastating for affected patients. While specific treatments are available for some of these infections, it first requires identifying the precise cause of infection. To meet that need, Mayo Clinic Laboratories has developed a metagenomics assay that can identify more than 1,000 pathogenic organisms in cerebrospinal fluid. The innovative assay, which uses an approach known as shotgun metagenomic sequencing, is one of the only such tests currently available.

This month's microlearning explores the significant impact of psychological safety on employees in the workplace.

In this episode of “Answers From the Lab,” host Bobbi Pritt, M.D., chair of the Division of Clinical Microbiology at Mayo Clinic, is joined by Peter Lucas, M.D., Ph.D., vice chair of Research for the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology (DLMP) at Mayo Clinic.

This three-part microlearning series is designed for healthcare professionals interested in understanding the diagnostic algorithms for celiac disease.

In this episode of Mayo Clinic Laboratories’ “Leveraging the Laboratory” podcast, host Jane Hermansen, outreach manager at Mayo Clinic Laboratories, speaks with outreach solutions strategists Ellen Dijkman Dulkes and Brianne Newton. They discuss how to proactively manage the variety of patient requests and interactions that occur in an outreach laboratory beyond the phlebotomy environment.

Mayo Clinic Laboratories’ BioPharma Diagnostics team supports companies from discovery to post-market in advancing their precision medicine initiatives. In this collaboration example, learn how BioPharma Diagnostics helped a biotech company complete a surveillance biomarker study to establish a cutoff for its assay developed to monitor the progression or regression of disease in patients with well-defined gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs).
