Imagine a future where you go in for your annual check-up and get a blood test to screen for cancer, in the same way you currently get screened for high cholesterol or diabetes. Some hope that liquid biopsy technology could eventually make this possible — but it has a long way to go before it gets to that point. Laborastories host Dr. Anthony Killeen sits down with Dr. Christina Lockwood for a realistic outlook on this exciting tec...

In January 2025, the Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (ADLM, formerly AACC) will be reorganizing its Divisions. In anticipation of this change, Laborastories host Dr. Anthony Killeen sits down with Dr. Octavia Peck Palmer to discuss how ADLM’s Divisions advance clinical laboratory testing and patient care, how members can join them, and how the new Division structure will better align with both the current and futu...

Noncommunicable diseases increase in prevalence as the population ages. They are the leading cause of mortality and healthcare expenditure globally. Diabetes, a major type of noncommunicable disease, currently affects 10.5% of adults globally, with almost half unaware that they are living with the condition. In this episode of Laborastories, hosted by Dr. Ian Lentnek from Siemens Healthineers, Dr. Zehra Yonel, an academic clinical ...

The Food and Drug Administration’s final laboratory developed tests rule will have dire consequences for vulnerable patient populations such as newborns. Laborastories host Dr. Anthony Killeen sits down with Dr. Dennis Dietzen to discuss the nitty gritty details of why the rule will impede patient care — and what the Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (formerly AACC) is doing to get it repealed.

Clinical laboratory scientists play an essential role in getting patients accurate diagnoses and effective care. In this episode of Laborastories, host Dr. Octavia Peck Palmer talks with Kacy Peterson, chair of ADLM’s Clinical Laboratory Scientists Council, about what the Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (formerly AACC) is doing to help clinical laboratory scientists flourish in their careers and to recruit more pe...

Healthcare professionals currently don’t have the ability to monitor whether medical artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are fair or not — a serious gap that could lead to AI exacerbating existing disparities and harming the most vulnerable patient populations. In this episode of Laborastories, host Dr. Octavia Peck Palmer talks with Dr. Mark Zaydman about this issue and about an Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicin...
