Featured Story

VUMC performs its first combined lung and liver transplant

April 24, 2024, vanderbilt medical laboratories opened a new lab. here’s what employees have to say 6 weeks in..

The Vanderbilt University Medical Center News & Communications crew caught up with a people working at the new laboratory in MetroCenter.

During Lab Week we asked a few employees working at Vanderbilt Medical Laboratories’ new 110,000-square-foot diagnostic core laboratory their thoughts about their workspace.  

The laboratory at MetroCenter is designed in an open concept layout, organized by workflows, with lab specialties clustered throughout the open space. New equipment now automates routine laboratory tasks such as specimen preparation and performance of basic assays, allowing personnel to focus on more complex activities. Automation also increases testing capacity and accuracy. 

VUMC’s hospitals, outpatient clinics, regional hospitals, and extramural practice customers are supported by the new facility.

Sharon Glover, Medical Laboratory Scientist (MLS) 4, Molecular Infectious Disease, first shift

We’ve added instrumentation that will help us expand testing capabilities. Our group has picked up some tests formerly done by Microbiology, so I’m going back and remembering things I learned 38-39 years ago. Some of it has been easy; some of it hasn’t. Many bacteria names have changed as new knowledge has led to them being reclassified.

Carla Nicholson, MLS4, Microbiology, first shift

I’m happy to be out of the congestion of the main campus. It’s wonderful to have a parking garage right here. Also, we’ve got so much more space in the lab, and it’s very aesthetically pleasing. We’ve also got the wonderful greenway right here along the Cumberland River so we can go walking.

Doris Ortez, MLS4, Microbiology, first shift

We have so much more space, so that means we’re able to add new technologies to bring our lab into the modern era. We’re still doing ‘old school’ plate reading in Microbiology today, but with the coming addition of a WASP (Walk Away Specimen Processor), that will all be computer-based and automated in an enclosed system.

Ashton Arnold, MLS2, Molecular DNA Genetics, day shift

This has more than quadrupled our space, which makes it easier to work. I think it’s great that we have so much more storage space. We have a better workflow here, and even though volumes have increased in certain parts of our lab, it hasn’t felt like it because our processes are more efficient, and we have more room to do what we need to do.

Mikail Osmani, Cytotechnician II, Cytopathology, day shift

I love being in this new area. It allows more opportunities for me to share my thoughts and input that might improve how we operate. I can put my voice out there and be heard. Also, I love all the windows and being able to see outside. I go on walks along the river. It’s just a beautiful thing.

Bryan Petoskey, MLS2, Special Chemistry, first shift

It’s always nice when you have an environment that is designed from the start to be a laboratory, and everyone is strategically placed in the building. I think it’s really going to help that we’re already organized so we can get the results out in a timely manner for our patients.

Kelsey Mitchell, MLS3, Core Lab Chemistry, day shift

I love the open floor plan and being able to mingle with all the different lab areas. I like that we’re collected and not all over the place in different buildings and on different floors. It’s much easier to meet new people. And we’re finally headed into being that truly innovative lab, which we’ve been wanting to do for so long.

Nathan Borden, MLS2, Immunoserology, second shift

Our workflow here is more efficient. We used to do a lot of batch testing, and now we continuously load and run the instruments nonstop. In the old space, it’d take an hour or two in the morning to set up a run, and then you’d just be waiting for it to be done. Now, we have a steady workflow throughout the day.

Robert Bryant, Lab Associate II, Pathology Support

My job consists of making sure all the slides and blocks are in order in our archive so physicians can get them when they need them. I also send out hemocology-pathology slides to hospitals that have sent slides to us requesting our expertise. We’re a bit more organized here. And it’s easier to get to people because here we’re all together.

Virginia “Ginny” Climo, MLS4, Hematopathology, day shift

We have new, integrated analyzers in hematology, chemistry and along the whole line. And this area, Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics, is new. It’s a bank where all the genetic testing will be stored. This is all new, top-of-the line technology, and it think it will give patients a better answer to what’s wrong with them.

David Page, MLS, Reference Lab, second shift

I work in the reference lab area, which is where we send out the tests that we don’t yet perform here. The whole point of this new lab is to expand our volume and test menu. So, every test that we can do here is one less test my department has to send out. That should provide faster results to our patients.

Building a SPOCs Network

ADefinition An extended group of people with similar interests or concerns who interact and remain in informal contact for mutual assistance or support. To interact or engage in informal communication with others for mutual assistance or support.

Ideally..... Involvement of all stakeholders Multidisciplinary and complementary cooperation Harmonized Best Practices Sharing of Information and Information Tools Continuous Training Sharing of Experience and Expertise Reduction of Reaction Times

PT experience - baby steps • Starting point on long standing MoUs and contact points for cooperation matters • Indirect awareness to fight against counterfeiting through other regulatory areas (assessment, inspection) • First exchange of information through “normal” alert network • Infarmed facilitates flow of information and contacts leading to acknowledgement of geographical implications of phenomena • Countries begin to contact each other without Infarmed as facilitator Building a TrustMarkettowardstheeffectiveImplementationof a SPOCsnetwork

Language Commonhistoryand cultural background Regulatoryandhealthprofessionalsgraduatesfromportugueseuniversities Regulatoryframeworkas model Easyexchangeofinfomation(alertnetwork/contactpoint for cooperation) NationalSPOCsnetwork Infarmed WHO referencelab Infarmed website as preferentialinformationfeed Advantages

Constraints • Geographical constraints (ie Angola has 1000km border) • Weak regulatory framework and enforcement structures • Constant shifts of political nature • Difficulty in updating / maitaining contact points • Absence of national coordinated structures • Bureaucracy • Lack of human and financial resources • IT tools (mails, databases) • Priority for laboratory infrastructure without legal framework in place

Strategies 1. Expert Support Drafting of legislation Drafting of guidelines and procedures Short and long term local support to implementing measures Local operational support (i.e. inspections)

Strategies 2.Communication /Information Infarmed’s website as preferential communication tool (registered users) Develop an online Internet Portal to support the SPOCsnetwork Identification of SPOCs Procedure for Counterfeit Alerts “Forum” type application Links to other applications (KnowIX)

Strategies 2.Communication /Information Promotion of awareness/information campaigns Public Media On line Institutional

Strategies 2.Communication /Information Promotion of awareness/information campaigns (2008-2010) Public Media On line Institutional Internet survey Involvement of media- press conference

Viral Campaign PANGEAIII • Web only • Micrositecampanha.infarmed.ptatinfarmed.pt • Mrecvideo • Nationalwebportals • Social networks (facebook, twitter, youtube) • Google addwords • Online survey

Micrositew/mrecvideo

Online survey • Did you buy medicines through the internet? • Have you checked the website authenticity? • What do you think about the information provided here? (not important, very important ) • After reading this will you buy medicines on the internet?

Strategies 3.Analytical Support Annual Market Surveillance Plan - includes samples from African countries Emergency analysis urgent cases referred by African countries WHO prequalification designation to facilitate access

Continuouscooperation Cape Verde (MRA) - 16 samples (since 2009). • Anti-inflammatory , antibiotics ,anti-cough • 95 tested parameters Angola (Economic Police - 25 samples (2008-2010) • 14 samples (2011-ongoing), • antimalarial, anti-inflammatory, antibiotics, anti-cough, vitamin supplements • 89 tested parameters   Angola (Health Inspectorate) - 15 samples (2011-7 ongoing) • anti-inflammatory, anti-cough, antifungal, vitamin supplemets • 26 tested parameters

IU researchers receive $4.8 million grant to study the role of misfolded protein TDP-43 in neurodegenerative diseases

IU School of Medicine Apr 23, 2024

INDIANAPOLIS—A new $4.8 million grant will support researchers from Indiana University School of Medicine and the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology to study how human neurodegenerative diseases are affected by the misfolding of the protein TDP-43. Misfolding occurs when a protein adopts a conformation which differs from the native one.

The researchers, funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, have developed an innovative approach to deciphering the role of TDP-43 misfolding in the pathology of frontotemporal dementias, limbic predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy and Alzheimer’s disease. 

“The presence of misfolded proteins in the central nervous system is the hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases,” said Kathy Newell, MD , Jay C. and Lucile L. Kahn Professor of Alzheimer's Disease Research and Education at IU School of Medicine and a principal investigator of the project. “The argument for the pathogenic significance of various misfolded proteins results from the fact that mutations in the various genes encoding those proteins cause distinct genetically determined neurodegenerative diseases. Furthermore, misfolding of those proteins also occurs in sporadic neurodegenerative diseases.”

An international, multidisciplinary team has been assembled with expertise in neuropathology, digital pathology, molecular genetics, biochemistry, protein misfolding, proteomics, structural biology and cryogenic electron microscopy. The team is supported by experts in clinical neurology, protein misfolding and biostatistics, as well as by the Dementia Laboratory’s Brain Library. 

“The protein TDP-43 is central to the pathogenesis of half of all frontotemporal lobar degeneration cases. Finding out how TDP-43, when misfolded, gives rise to multiple proteinopathies is extremely important for the design of diagnostic and therapeutic compounds that will target pathologic TDP-43,” Newell said.

The project is called “Investigating the role of TDP-43 mislocalization, structure, and post-translational modifications in the neuropathologically heterogeneous TDP-43 proteinopathies.”

In addition to Newell, the other principal investigators are Laura Cracco, PhD, MS , assistant research professor of pathology and laboratory medicine at IU School of Medicine and Benjamin Ryskeldi-Falcon, PhD , group leader at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in the United Kingdom. This project is the first National Institutes of Health funded research for all three investigators as principal investigators.
