Mayo Clinic Laboratories has developed a new direct ethanol biomarker test for alcohol consumption that has a much longer detection window than existing urine tests for alcohol use.
Mayo Clinic researchers are now using artificial intelligence (AI) systems to help increase polyp detection during colonoscopies and identify colorectal cancer at an early stage. Like facial recognition software that recognizes faces, this AI tool is being trained to recognize polyps. It works alongside the physician during a colonoscopy, scanning the video feed and drawing boxes around polyps that may otherwise have been overlooked due to their subtleness.
Mayo Clinic’s Advanced Diagnostics Laboratory researchers are using phage immunoprecipitation sequencing to discover new serological biomarkers for autoimmune diseases.
Together, Mayo Clinic Laboratories and Helix will provide biopharma customers with a full spectrum of testing capabilities and end-to-end laboratory testing support.
The MayoComplete Liquid Biopsy Panel offers a noninvasive alternative to traditional cell-based biopsies. This allow for faster turnaround time and the ability to perform molecular DNA testing in cancer patients where tumor tissue isn’t available.
