Specialized immunofluorescence testing helps uncover rare autoimmune blistering diseases, identify underlying cancers, and guide precise treatment, improving diagnostic accuracy and outcomes for patients with challenging skin disorders.
Discover in a Becker’s Healthcare podcast how leaders can help teams navigate rapid change while staying grounded in mission, strategy, and values.
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., president and CEO of Mayo Clinic Laboratories, to discuss Protecting Access to Medicare Act (PAMA) reform and recent reports about the New World screwworm. Dr. Morice also shares insights on building an innovation strategy that delivers meaningful organizational value.
Genome-wide methylation profiling is transforming the way clinicians approach brain tumor diagnosis. By analyzing epigenetic patterns across the genome, this advanced testing method provides a new level of precision, helping resolve ambiguous cases, reduce diagnostic variability, and support more confident clinical decision-making in complex CNS tumors.
As innovation in clinical diagnostics accelerates, collaboration is becoming increasingly essential to ensure new tools reach the clinicians and patients who need them most. Mary Jo Williamson, chief administrative officer at Mayo Clinic Laboratories, discusses how a strategic approach to collaboration is helping build a more connected diagnostic ecosystem and enabling more comprehensive care.
How Mayo Clinic Laboratories uses collaboration, data, and global reach to deliver patient-first diagnostic solutions for rare diseases.
Autoimmune neurology testing has evolved beyond limited paraneoplastic evaluations to phenotype-specific panels that identify clinically relevant antibodies. This phenotype-specific approach significantly improves diagnostic accuracy, reduces false positives, and helps guide faster, more personalized treatment for complex neurological diseases.
New wtRNA-seq test detects fusions in 1,445 genes with high accuracy, improving cancer diagnosis, treatment decisions, and clinical trial eligibility.
Christopher Garcia, M.D., shares how secure digital tools, wearable data, and AI can enable more personalized diagnostic pathways, while still keeping clinicians in the driver’s seat.
A young dancer from Minnesota thrives with a rare blood disorder, thanks to resilience, family advocacy, and lifesaving lab medicine.
Research improves the diagnosis of rare Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, closing genetic testing gaps, guiding care, and earning recognition as a top paper.
Diagnostics power personalized care by guiding therapy selection, informing adjustments, and fueling the advancement of precision medicine.
Mayo Clinic Laboratories is applying AI where it helps most today, strengthening daily workflows while keeping experts firmly in control. From faster specimen intake and triage to data‑informed scheduling, first‑pass support for complex analyses, draft interpretive reporting, and reliable digital pathology quantification, teams use AI to organize information, reduce repetitive steps, and improve consistency. Human‑in‑the‑loop oversight, fit‑for‑workflow design, and regulatory‑aware communication keep the focus on safe, practical gains that benefit patients, clinicians, and laboratorians.
