#Greenwood Genetic Center Diagnostic Lab

[greenwoodgeneticcenter]

The diagnostic lab at Greenwood Genetic Center is named to honor the Center’s co-founder, Harold A. Taylor. The facility is made of three separate, but integrated laboratories: the biochemical lab, the cytogenetic lab and the molecular lab. All three laboratories use technologies to help physicians, patients and their families to better understand a disorder and the available treatments for it. The Greenwood Diagnostic Labs utilize traditional and cutting-edge tools such as next-generation sequencing, multiple array CGH platforms and expanding enzyme analysis testing to provide the most accurate and reliable diagnoses available.

Our Genetic Education Center welcomes students and other groups throughout the year for an interactive hands-on experience. Groups will learn how GGC operates and the types of activities we are involved in from research studies to clinical care to the latest in diagnostic testing. Student groups have the opportunity to engage in genetic analysis and testing in our student lab, learn about various topics from our faculty, as well as take a tour of GGC’s Diagnostic Laboratories.
