DLAM maintains a comprehensive diagnostic laboratory in B-13 Berryhill Hall. Here a majority of necessary diagnostic testing can be performed by DLAM’s laboratory staff. Other needed testing is usually performed by reference labs. DLAM will perform diagnostic testing needed as part of an investigator’s research for a negotiated fee.
