- Our Lab team processes all collected samples with precision and adherence to high standards.
- The Business Operations & Partnerships team manages collaborations with academic research groups and industry partners, oversees communications and engagement, and facilitates Public and Patient Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) activities to ensure community involvement in research.
