Laboratory Medicine

Overview

Laboratory Medicine is a vital component of the School of Medicine, providing comprehensive diagnostic services that support patient care, education, and research. The division encompasses a broad range of specialties, including clinical chemistry, flow cytometry, hematopathology, microbiology, blood bank and transfusion medicine, core laboratory services, molecular testing, and next-generation sequencing.

Through advanced technologies and expert interpretation, Laboratory Medicine delivers critical data for the diagnosis, monitoring, and management of disease, from routine testing to highly specialized analyses of hematologic, infectious, and genetic conditions. The division also ensures the safe provision of blood products and supports efficient, high-quality testing through its core laboratory operations.

In addition to its clinical mission, Laboratory Medicine is actively engaged in research and innovation, advancing diagnostic techniques—particularly in molecular diagnostics and next-generation sequencing—to support precision medicine. The division is also dedicated to education and training, preparing medical students, residents, and fellows for careers in modern laboratory medicine.
