Background

About Mary C. Long

At my core, I am a scientist, and my passion is for clinical laboratory sciences. I appreciate the practical application of pharmaceutical sciences to the clinical laboratory and have recently specialized in toxicology. I have primarily worked with applications of LC/MS/MS technology in the clinical laboratory as it pertains to toxicological testing, quantitation of biomarkers, and determination of drugs and their metabolites in biological matrices. The work that I do directly affects patient care and I develop all of my tests with that endpoint in mind. As a licensed high complexity clinical laboratory director, I understand the importance of working towards scientific excellence and maintaining regulatory compliance. Having worked in regulated laboratories, I have a great deal of familiarity with CLIA, CAP, COLA, and FDA requirements and enjoy implementing process improvements that help to maintain the quality of our results.
