Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is a genetic condition that can lead to life-threatening hemolysis in both children and adults. Early and accurate diagnosis is critical, but identifying G6PD deficiency in newborns and young children isn’t always straightforward—most reference intervals are based on adult values, which don’t necessarily apply to pediatric patients. In this interview, Dr. Kelly Doyle, an ARUP medical director of Special Chemistry, Endocrinology, and Mass Spe...

An Interview With Dr. David Fajgenbaum: Embracing the “Ignorome” To Expedite Clinical Science
After nearly dying from a mysterious disease during medical school, Dr. David Fajgenbaum dedicated his career to breaking down barriers in biomedical research. Fajgenbaum is now an associate professor of medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and cofounder of Every Cure. In this conversation, we discuss his personal diagnostic journey and the errors and delays he encountered along the way. We also explore why academic medicine needs to go beyond generating disparate pieces of scientific k...
