Harnessing our research to offer innovative diagnostic testing
Our story
SDxLabs is a CLIA Certified high complexity molecular diagnostic laboratory that is operated by SignatureDx. Signature is a local research company focused on the development of early-stage diagnostic and phenotyping tools for complex disease in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh and Magee-Womens Research Institute and Foundation.
Our diagnostic laboratory, SDxLabs was created to deliver our own tests, as well as other established ones like COVID-19 infection testing, to local communities in the Pittsburgh region.
Based on intellectual property jointly developed by the University of Pittsburgh and Magee Women’s research Institute, the work to discover these diagnostic tools utilizes cell-free DNA and other biomarkers that are obtained using non-invasive sample techniques. Current projects are focused on women’s reproductive health and organs.
Our mission
is to equip the communities we serve with innovative diagnostic procedures to take a proactive approach to health care.
Our vision
is to expand access to cutting edge diagnostics, enabling early disease detection to elevate the standard of care.
