Welcome to LabReflex—a podcast for people who believe the clinical laboratory should think, lead, and speak up.
Every patient encounter runs through the lab, but the lab is too often silent. LabReflex is here to change that.
Hosted by Dr. Chris Zahner, Chief of Clinical Pathology at UTMB Galveston, LabReflex explores the strategy, science, and stories behind diagnostics. We bring lab leaders, innovators, and frontline clinicians together for real conversations about what works, what fails, and what’s next.
If you believe lab medicine is more than test results—if you want to think better about how we diagnose and treat patients—this is your show.
Subscribe, listen, and join the conversation.
