Laboratory Services for Researchers
At Nemours Children's, we offer clinical lab services and a pediatric diagnostic center to support the efforts of clinicians and researchers, both internal and external. We staff a wide array of labs, which contribute key scientific and diagnostic information for a wealth of medical areas.
Core Resources
Nemours Biomedical Research Core Labs
The Nemours Biomedical Research Core Labs provide highly specialized equipment, techniques, and staff expertise to Nemours researchers and clinicians, as well as external investigators. Five distinct labs contribute to important work being performed in fields such as genetic disease, cancer, skeletal dysplasia, and obesity-related cardiometabolic disease. The labs are equipped with up-to-date, sophisticated equipment, and run by highly trained, experienced research professionals who can generate and interpret the wealth of data available.
Diagnostic Testing
We also have several certified diagnostic testing laboratories to help physicians make diagnoses and decide on treatment.
