ARUP Institute for Clinical & Experimental Pathology®

Created in 1996, the ARUP Institute for Clinical and Experimental Pathology® (the ARUP Institute) is part of ARUP's mission to continually improve the health care profession. The ARUP Institute seeks to expand the quantity, quality, efficiency, and sophistication of laboratory tests. Since its inception, the ARUP Institute has provided clients and physicians with an average of more than 30 new assays each year. Moreover, the research scientists have shared their knowledge, experience, and new developments with the scientific community by publishing more than 600 original peer-reviewed research publications in leading journals.

The ARUP Institute’s mission is to be at the forefront of innovative research and development in clinical and experimental laboratory medicine and to continually contribute to the profession.

 

Project Categories

Generally, the ARUP Institute sponsors projects within four broad categories: creating new laboratory tests; improving current clinical laboratory tests; evaluating and critiquing tests, including alpha- and beta-site protocols; and conducting basic and clinical research projects. Research performed on human subjects is conducted under informed consent following the protocols approved by the University of Utah Institutional Review Board (IRB).
