About William Roberts, M.D., Ph.D.

Dr. Roberts has engaged in research on the performance characteristics of a large number of clinical chemistry assays.  Factors that have been evaluated include linearity, imprecision, pediatric and adult reference intervals, comparison with other methods, interferences, and cross-reacting substances, both endogenous and exogenous.  Some analytes that require additional efforts to standardize results have been identified.
