118 Next Generation DNA testing with Dr. Stephen Fry of Fry Labs

Getting accurate testing and figuring out what is really going on in your body can be a really hard aspect of life with a chronic illness. Technology is changing things rapidly and today we talk with Dr. Fry, the founder of Fry Laboratories LLC, about those changes and what that means for patients.

*Fry Labs is a CLIA clinical diagnostic laboratory that participates in CAP and API validation systems.

Dr. Fry founded the Southwest Center for Chronic Disease to help fund basic medical research. The laboratory specializes in vector-borne diseases, molecular methods of detection of prokaryotes, archaea, protozoans, and fungi. To democratize microbial sequencing technology Dr. Fry founded BioID Genomics, this company provides other microbiology laboratories with kits and software to more easily identify microbes. Dr. Fry enjoys family time and has a private pilot's license, is an avid skier, sailor, and bicyclist.

His scientific interests are in the microbial causation of chronic disease, biofilms, and their treatment. He has had a special clinical interest in CFS, ‘Chronic Lyme Syndrome’, autoimmune and vascular disease. He has lectured nationally and has numerous publications, abstracts, and patents.
Because of these interests, Dr. Fry has worked on new methods for disease detection which have culminated in the development of a Next-Gen Sequencing system for microbial identification.
