    Description

    For the 30 years following Dr. Robert Guthrie's invention of a PKU screening test newborn screening tests were limited in number. That all changed when biochemists at Duke University first applied tandem mass spectrometry to solve a puzzling clinical case. The result changed the way the newborn screening community thought about adding new screening tests.

    Did you know that one of the most important public health programs, one that impacts the lives of our newborn babies, is largely unknown to the public at-large?  The practice of screening all newborn babies at birth, for metabolic and a variety of other disorders, is something that most parents probably don’t ever think about, nor do they usually receive the test results.  Why do advancements in newborn screening, that affect the health and well-being of our children, seem to be a mystery to so many? If we’ve piqued your interest then tune in to this monthly podcast series produced by Waters Corporation and learn more about the practice of newborn screening as we unravel the science behind it.
