CPSA Everyday Conversation

“We are clearly getting there with the things we can do now with a few microliters of blood.” – Ian Wilson, Imperial College

Ian Wilson discusses his passion and vision to improve the human journey through streamlined testing workflows and high-quality data.  We possibly only get one chance at this, and anything we can do to improve lives is very important.  Looking at the full workflow, Ian believes that the community has clearly made strides to improving healthcare through collecting smaller volumes of blood.  With 100 µL of blood, we can analyze the proteome, metabolome, and RNA without causing much damage to the patient.  We are in a paradigm where we have technologies to improve patient care and Ian Wilson works to maximize workflows and results as quickly and efficiently as possible.
