Scan of the Sample

And now for a moment of shameless self-promotion: if you haven't seen our new sister blog on clinical labs, The Sample, check it out. Some recent items: The search for a director for Kaiser Permanente's molecular genetics lab has dragged on for at least five weeks. The director, should they ever find one, will oversee the lab's "high-complexity molecular genetics mutation studies for an expanding list of genetic disorders," according to one ad. Blogger Kirell Lakhman also writes that ViraCor Laboratories plans to acquire IBT Laboratories and wonders if that will be a replay of LabCorp's recent acquisition of Monogram Biosciences.
