Allison Carey, MD, PhD, pictured in her lab at the University of Utah, developed a molecular barcoding approach to identify genetic variants that make some strains of Mycobacterium avium more resistant to antibiotics.

ARUP Consult^®, a free source of laboratory testing information for clinicians, released several new and updated resources in January.

Nathan Boggs, MD, PhD, an assistant professor of medicine at the Uniformed Services University who is engaged in systemic mastocytosis (SM) translational research, helped Mark Withers, MD, obtain a definitive diagnosis of SM after 20-plus years. Tracy George, MD, ARUP Laboratories president and chief scientific officer, has led the effort to develop highly sensitive tests at ARUP that aid in the diagnosis of SM and has played a key role in clinical trials for emerging treatments.
