Quality control (QC) can be considered the foundation of clinical chemistry. No patient’s test should be done until the QC is completed and found within range. So when the QC fails it creates an immediate headache for the medical laboratory scientist working on that bench. Dr. Chatterjee will help relieve the pain that comes with failed QC by providing us with some steps to aid in investigation and resolution of failed QC.
Dr. Chatterjee is a M.D. in biochemistry from India with extensive experience in clinical biochemistry, analytical biochemistry, and basic research in India. She was a consultant biochemist in a diagnostic laboratory and has multiple publications in research journals. After moving to the U.S., Dr. Chatterjee enrolled in and graduated from a MLS program and got her certification as MLS by the American Society for Clinical Pathology.
