Clinical Lab
The New York Genome Center has a state-of-the-art clinical diagnostic laboratory that utilizes next-generation sequencing technology to perform cutting-edge tests in the areas of genetics and oncology. The Clinical Laboratory is accredited by the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) and the Clinical Laboratory Evaluation Program of the New York State Department of Health (CLEP). It is licensed to perform clinical testing in all fifty (50) of the United States and the District of Columbia. The laboratory participates in the College of American Pathologists (CAP) proficiency testing. Click here to see our laboratory permits and accreditations.
The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) has developed a list of genes for which secondary findings should be sought and reported for all individuals undergoing sequencing, regardless of the reason for testing.

Custom Clinical Reference Laboratory Genomics Sequencing and/or Bioinformatics Services
Vaidehi Jobanputra, PhD, FACMG
Chief Diagnostics Officer
High-quality custom clinical reference laboratory services are available for organizations that:
- want to provide next-generation sequencing based laboratory-developed tests but do not have the infrastructure to sequence and/or interpret the data
- have overflow next-generation sequencing and/or bioinformatics services needs
- need expert assistance to obtain New York State CLEP approval for next-generation sequencing based diagnostic tests
- want support for research efforts that require CLIA grade sequencing and/or bioinformatics
- have other requirements for CLIA grade sequencing and/or bioinformatics
