1 Beaumont Laboratory Quick Reference Guide: Microbiology
2 Beaumont s Clinical Microbiology and Molecular Pathology Laboratories provide a full spectrum of tests ranging from traditional culture to state-of-theart molecular methods for the detection of medically important bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses. In addition, the Laboratories provide information about the susceptibility of bacteria and select viruses to antimicrobial agents. The Laboratories consistently strive to deliver innovative technologies to help physicians, hospitals, and long-term care facilities obtain the right answer at the right time. Not only does Beaumont Laboratory provide testing for simple to complex cases, it also trains Michigan s future clinical laboratory scientists. Our top trainees often continue their careers at Beaumont Laboratory, thus we retain the most talented clinical laboratory scientists. These new graduates work alongside our highly skilled clinical laboratory scientists who have been with the organization for numerous years. This means that when your patient s specimens arrive in our laboratory, you can be assured that the most accurate test results will be obtained in a timely manner. You can count on our staff the way your patients count on you. Our experts are led by: Bobby Boyanton, Jr., M.D. Medical Director, Clinical Microbiology Laboratory Associate Medical Director, Molecular Pathology Associate Director of Residency Training Associate Professor, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Anatomic and Clinical Pathology, American Board of Pathology Subspecialty Molecular Genetic Pathology, American Board of Pathology Special interests Molecular applications for infectious disease testing, C. difficile disease, translational research Barbara Robinson-Dunn, Ph.D. Technical Director, Clinical Microbiology Laboratory Professor, Department of Pathology and Laboratory American Board of Medical Microbiology Special interests Laboratory Detection of Emerging Infectious Diseases, Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing, Fungal and Mycobacterial Diseases Elizabeth Wey, M.D. Attending Pathologist and Hematopathologist Assistant Professor, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Anatomic and Clinical Pathology, American Board of Pathology Subspecialty Hematology, American Board of Pathology Domnita Crisan, M.D., Ph.D. Medical Director, Molecular Pathology Laboratory Professor, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Clinical Pathology, American Board of Pathology High Complexity Laboratory Director-Molecular Pathology, American Board of Bioanalysis Special interests Molecular Pathology, Hematopathology Vaishali Pansare, M.D. Chief, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Grosse Pointe Medical Director, Beaumont Laboratory Outreach Associate Professor, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Anatomic and Clinical Pathology, American Board of Pathology Subspecialty Cytopathology, American Board of Pathology Special interests Gynecologic Cytology, Prostate Pathology
