While other molecules may be “sexier,” said John Toffaletti, PhD, a patient with very low oxygen can die within half an hour without appropriate intervention. Toffaletti, together with Craig Rackley, MD, led a popular workshop on Sunday for the third year in a row titled, “Guidance for Evaluating the Hypoxemic Patient in the Critical Care Setting.”
We host more microbiota than our own cells. These micro-guests produce metabolites that are only beginning to be appreciated as important factors in pathologic processes, from chronic inflammatory diseases to preterm birth. In this morning’s President’s Invited Session, Gary Wu, MD, and Rebecca Simmons, MD, both from the University of Pennsylvania, will share the most recent findings and ongoing trials that are beginning to define the complex host-guest relationship in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and pre-term birth.

The Phantom of the Opera, the longest-running show in Broadway history with nearly 30 years of continuous production, has captivated generations of fans with its compelling story and soaring score by Andrew Lloyd Weber. Though cut of an entirely different cloth, Sunday mornings’s AACC University course, “Trust But Verify: Getting the Most of Verification Protocols for FDA-Approved Methods”—part of the longest running workshop at the AACC Annual Scientific Meeting—enjoys similar durability and cachet among clinical laboratorians for its enduring relevancy and practicality.

"Good morning, doctor, I am here for my gene editing appointment.” In the future, could this be a greeting heard in physician offices around the world? With the introduction of CRISPR technology, genetic material can now be more easily and precisely edited, even creating changes that can subsequently be inherited by offspring.

The path from junior laboratory scientist to senior scientist or director can be daunting. Though a good foundation in scientific knowledge and increasing experience in the day-to-day challenges of the clinical lab help get us there, not many laboratorians have a PhD in leadership. While leadership may not initially seem critical early in your career, seizing opportunities for growth and influence early on can help us be recognized as leaders long before an official title confers it.
