Overview

Mission

To improve public health and nutrition through medical research, public education and public service via medical testing for intestinal disorders.

What it reported doing in 2025

Code 541700 The laboratory analyzes fecal specimens, a diagnostic medium shunned by most other diagnostic laboratories. The stool medium is the only body specimen that can directly reveal information about intestinal function. This is extremely vital to our intestinal physiologic and clinical health research, a major part of our mission.
