Harnessing our research to offer innovative diagnostic testing
Developing SDxLabs
Signature Diagnostics established SDxLabs to provide relevant lab services to the community while building the necessary infrastructure to bring Signature’s research to life through novel diagnostic and screening solutions.
In July of 2021, SDxLabs opened its doors to the public as a high complexity molecular diagnostic laboratory certified by the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA). During this time, rising COVID-19 cases continued to impact daily life, reinforcing the necessity for accessible testing. The lab implemented COVID-19 PCR testing as an offering to meet testing needs with quality patient experiences and rapid result delivery times. By developing partnerships with local pharmacies and organizations, SDxLabs was able to expand COVID-19 testing to communities throughout the Greater Pittsburgh area, and later throughout regions in the Mid-Atlantic.
Delivering COVID-19 tests during a high-stress environment for patients allowed SDxLabs to form an identity as a dependable diagnostic laboratory that handles every patient interaction with care and accommodation. With the introduction of women’s health services, SDxLabs is dedicated to maintaining exceptional patient experiences and providing patients with the resources they need to make informed health decisions.
Where will our research take us?
As SDxLabs continues to offer established diagnostic and screening services, Signature’s research team is using noninvasive technology to develop novel solutions for the prediction, detection, and understanding of complex diseases on a cellular level.

This is an exciting opportunity to translate our research efforts into commercial products that will improve patient health outcomes. We want to make our novel solutions available to as many people as possible so that we may help them make proactive healthcare decisions that will have a positive impact on their health.
