Reina Jenny Gutierrez Rendón, MSc, is a superhero. Every day, along with her colleagues at Caja Nacional de Salud, she fights to understand and study cardiovascular disease.
Laboratorians may not be visible to patients, but they are at the forefront of the fight against all kinds of diseases. They lead the way in fighting COVID-19, they fight against malaria, and they are our best defense against non-communicable diseases of all kinds — the deadliest of which is cardiovascular disease.
The CDC/ADLM/SOBOBIOCLI workshop was conducted as a part of the Global Lab Quality Initiative funded by the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation. Any society interested in partnering on a similar workshop, please contact [email protected].
