Beyond Research: Clinical Utility for Cytokine Testing

Explore the clinical applications of cytokine testing in this 40-minute webinar presented by Thomas Martin, a senior-level research scientist at ARUP Laboratories. Delve into the role of cytokines as the hormones of the immune system and their significance in cell signaling, host immune responses, and various physiological processes. Discover how cytokine testing, primarily used in research, is gaining clinical utility for monitoring immunomodulating therapies, ensuring safety in clinical trials, and managing cytokine storm syndrome. Learn about the challenges and potential of cytokine testing in diagnosing and understanding immune, infectious, allergic, and inflammatory disorders. Gain insights from Martin's expertise in laboratory medicine and biomedical sciences as he discusses the evolving landscape of cytokine testing beyond its traditional research applications.
