About Lily Wu, Ph.D.
In the Cardiovascular Genetic Research Clinic Dr. Wu has been instrumental in developing a quality CDC standardized lipid laboratory. The key function of the laboratory is to provide lipid, lipoprotein, and LDL tests and to assess risk factors relating to hypertension and coronary diseases. As Director of ARUP's Reagent Production Laboratory she oversees the preparation of in-house test kits, an integral part of patient care service.
