Dr. Shannon Haymond reflects on AACC name change at the 2023 ADLM Annual Scientific Meeting

Watch Dr. Shannon Haymond, President of the Association for Diagnostics and Laboratory Medicine (ADLM), formerly known as the American Association of Clinical Chemistry (AACC), as she reflects on ADLM's name change to ensure the association continues to evolve alongside the diagnostics and laboratory medicine industries. Dr. Haymond discusses this year's successful meeting, which featured cutting-edge science and technology on the showroom floor, whilst also looking ahead to future ADLM meetings where she believes data analytics, AI, and machine learning will play a pivotal role in meeting attendee needs and improving patient care.

Better health through laboratory medicine

The Association for Diagnostics and Laboratory Medicine (ADLM) is a global scientific and medical professional organization dedicated to clinical laboratory science and its application to healthcare. Our leadership in education, advocacy and collaboration helps lab professionals adapt to change and do what they do best: provide vital insight and guidance so patients get the care they need.

Charting our course for the future

ADLM’s strategic plan set goals for innovation, growth, and influence in five areas:

  • Advocacy & Influence
  • Value of Laboratory Medicine
  • Data Analytics in Laboratory Medicine
  • Scientific Advancement
  • Expanded ADLM Brand Positioning

Clinical ChemistryBiochemistry (or clinical chemistry) involves the analysis of bodily fluids using chemical tests. Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.HematologyIn Haematology / Hematology, complete blood cell counts (or full blood counts) are obtained using automated blood count analyzers to enumerate blood cell types.  Hematology also encompasses haemostasis and coagulation, thrombophilia and hemophilia, plasma viscosity and ESR analysis, hemoglobinopathies, cell morphology and haematinic measurement.Clinical MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments. Find the best microbiology products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Clinical GeneticsMolecular Genetics covers the analysis of hereditary genetic disease and chromosomal abnormalities. Genetics can be analysed using DNA, RNA, and protein microarrays, PCR, RT PCR and DNA sequencing. Genetic equipment includes genetic workstations, thermal cyclers, cooling blocks and electrophoresis products. Diagnostic kits are used for DNA / RNA extraction and purification.ADLM
