The Laboratory for Clinical Bioscience (LCB)

Overview of Services

About us:
The Laboratory for Clinical Bioscience (LCB) at the University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine is a core laboratory and shared resource facility established since 1996. As part of the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine (DPLM) Research Resources, the LCB provides high quality research support to University of Miami investigators and other academic and non-academic institutions.
The LCB is conveniently located within the University of Miami Medical Campus on the 6th floor of The Mailman Center for Child Development, adjacent to Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (SCCC).
Our mission is to offer investigators high-level expertise and guidance, from project inception to end-goals, for successful execution of clinical and pre-clinical research initiatives. The LCB will help investigators identify the most cost-effective and efficient testing strategies for their projects, with the fundamental goal of promoting ongoing research, discovery, and innovation.
The LCB plays an important role in the evaluation and testing of developmental and research diagnostic assays, towards acquisition of data for publication and/or regulatory approval by the FDA.
Our highly trained and dedicated staff is available Monday thru Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Weekend services can be provided as needed.
