Part two of the 50th Anniversary series highlights how Mayo Clinic Laboratories has remained focused on our core values through support of Mayo Clinic’s three shields – integrated clinical practice, research, and education.

Ann Moyer, M.D., Ph.D., explains Mayo Clinic Labs’ new focused pharmacogenomics panel, a real-time, PCR-based testing approach that assesses 10 genes known for their drug-gene associations, to provide guidance on medication selection for patients across a variety of specialities.

Personalized medicine represents unprecedented potential benefits for patients. LabConnect and Mayo Clinic BioPharma Diagnostics are working together to bring world-class laboratory testing and resources to industry partners conducting clinical research and trials.

Before testing at Mayo Clinic Laboratories, Barbara Domaille, Deborah Neville, Pamela Neville, and Rylie Ronnenberg thought there could be a genetic connection to the hip problems they shared. After the testing, they knew for sure.

In this episode of Lab Medicine Rounds, Dr. Meera Sridharan, Assistant Professor of Medicine and Oncology and senior associate consultant in the Department of Hematology at Mayo Clinic, discusses the evolving field of direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) reversals and the critical advances being made.

A web of innovation within Mayo Clinic Laboratories links research and test development with clinical practice, enabling for some of the world’s most pioneering methodologies. Underpinning this innovation network are unique supports that provide inventive and essential solutions to broaden testing capabilities.

In this episode of Lab Medicine Rounds, Ellen Dijkman Dulkes, a member of Mayo Clinic Laboratories’ Outreach and Network Solutions team, discusses why reference laboratory testing is important and what will be significant in the future for these laboratories.

The following list includes updates posted to mayocliniclabs.com during the month of August.

In this episode of Lab Medicine Rounds, visiting medical student Carol Rizkalla sits down with Justin Kreuter, M.D., to discuss the importance of external rotations within pathology and how to be a successful visiting medical student.

Due to the Labor Day holiday (recognized on Monday, September 6), Mayo Clinic Laboratories' specimen pickup and delivery schedules will be altered.

In 1971, the Regional Laboratory, later to become Mayo Clinic Laboratories, was founded. For the first time in Mayo Clinic’s history, the institution would support the community practice of pathology for outside patients in the region and beyond.

This "Pathways" program provides Anatomic and Clinical Pathology cases that include a history, potential answers, rationale, and relevant references. Cases for August include the following sub-specialties: Clinical Biochemistry, Clinical Chemistry, Clinical Informatics, Clinical Microbiology, and Gastroenterology Pathology.

It’s been understood for some time that an infection of B. mayonii, a rare species of bacterium, results in high levels of spirochetes in the peripheral blood. But actually being able to visualize them on a routine peripheral blood smear may allow for improved recognition of this uncommon cause of Lyme disease.
