UCSD Biochemical Genetics and Metabolomics Laboratory

A Program in the Division of Genetics, Department of Pediatrics, University of California San Diego

Diagnostics
The Biochemical Genetics Laboratory in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of California San Diego has been in operation since the establishment of the UCSD Medical School in 1969. We are involved in the care of patients with inborn errors of metabolism, in related research, and in performance of diagnostic services and research support. Our specialty is applied metabolomics.  We offer many common metabolic tests, and several tests not generally available, which have been developed in the conduct of research or the care of our patients. Please call if we can be of assistance in your research, diagnostic, therapeutic plans.
