Laboratory Medicine: is where clinical tests are carried out to obtain information about the health of a patient to aid in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
In order to realize the benefits of personalized cancer therapy, increasing demands are placed upon clinical laboratories to provide timely, comprehensive, clinically actionable, and analytic...
The clinical utility of high-dimensional molecular profiling has been provisionally established in several domains of medicine. Today, interrogation of scores of genes and even whole ex...
The rapid implementation of next generation sequencing is changing how genetics and genomics are applied in a clinical setting. However, the quickly evolving technology can be challenging to...
Human breast tumors have been shown to exhibit extensive inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity. While recent advances in genomic technologies have allowed us to deconvolute this heterogeneity,...
Imaging-based techniques have traditionally been restricted to the diagnosis and staging of cancer. But technological advances are moving imaging modalities into the heart of patient care. Im...
Cervical cancer screening has been the 20th century poster child for preventative screening. This presentation is a gynecologist’s perspective on its continuing evolution –b...
Cancer remains the second leading cause of death in the United States. Most tumors arise from a myriad of genetic changes that dysregulate cell growth and prompt survival. Ident...
This session will describe opportunities for laboratory-clinician collaboration. identify the laboratory’s role in improving patient outcomes, and provide insight into the reimbursement...
This session will provide an update on PAMA, related coding initiatives, and what we are seeing from the payor perspective so far this year. Participants will have a deeper understandin...

TIME: 10:00am Pacific time, 1:00pm Eastern time
The LabLeaders team is pleased to deliver on the promise of connecting those invested in the success of laborator...
Recent advances in personalized medicine and associated companion diagnostic therapeutics have led to an increased utilization of genetic markers in oncology therapy selection. The rapi...
Recent advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have helped to accelerate the pace of discovery in the field of genetic disease research and testing. The ability to analyze multiple genes...
This session will give examples of the types of genetic tests that are most often ordered and what those tests are generally able to tell the physician and patient. The speakers will walk thr...
Medical genetics is a specialty of medicine that encompasses patients at all ages (prenatal, pediatric, adult), as well as all organ systems. As the genetic causes of more diseases have been ...
Genetic testing has been an important component of medical care for decades but the breadth and impact of testing has been steadily increasing as medical knowledge increases, appreciation of ...
Family history can be viewed as the first stop in the assessment of genetic risks for any individual. For many genetic disorders there will be no obvious signs of symptoms until significant m...
Given the challenges of replicating Parkinson’s disease in animal models, returning to models that are human-based and highly clinically characterized may provide the most successful pa...
The greatest health epidemic of our time is cancer. Deaths from cancer worldwide outnumber the combined deaths from HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria by a wide margin. There are at least 100...
A century and a half after we first probed heritability, we risk forgetting one of Mendel's own basic findings, in rushing to broaden clinical genomics to lifelong care for all. Embracing...
While next-generation sequencing has proven to be a very useful tool in basic research, two major hurdles remain for its broad adoption in the clinical research setting: lack of seamless work...
A crucial part of providing animals for research is successful breeding. Still, in many mouse facilities breeding efficiency is complicated by problems with reproduction, such as pre-weaning...
Science continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Our understanding of laboratory animal behavior and welfare is also growing. The biomedical research community continues to receive criticisms fro...
Working with animals carries legal, scientific and ethical responsibilities. These responsibilities merge as we strive to humanely use the least number of animals necessary to provide t...
The reproducibility of animal studies is now critical to ensure that limited resources are used wisely and that efforts yield useable knowledge. At this time, IACUCs and other similar a...
