Center for Integrated Diagnostics - Translational Research Laboratory

We are the research arm of the Center for Integrated Diagnostics (CID) at MGH. 

We help with early translation all the way to clinical validation, integration and utility assessment in practice. Established in 2007 as the Translational Research Lab in conjunction with the MGH Cancer Center, we developed cutting edge molecular testing panels via NGS.

We now support many clinical trials, assess and develop diagnostics, execute novel research, provide orthogonal testing, assay development, data services, and evaluate promising new technology.
