Biotility Celebrates Lab Week 2025

Celebrating Lab Week: April 20-26, 2025

The annual celebration of Lab Week recognizes the role medical laboratory professionals play in the science community. Dating back to 1920, Lab Week has its roots with the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) when they launched a campaign to raise awareness about the hard work of medical laboratory professionals. More recently, this celebration has evolved to include many events and activities and is observed around the world.

Behind-the-Scenes Heroes

The healthcare system largely rests on the shoulders of medical laboratory professionals, who are responsible for collecting and analyzing patient samples, conducting tests, and providing critical information to healthcare providers. And in the biomedical field, these professionals lead the charge with their dedication to growth and innovation. From monitoring treatment outcomes to diagnosing diseases, these industry workers labor tirelessly behind the scenes to deliver accurate and reliable results.

There are two organizations that go above and beyond to support laboratory professionals, providing resources, education, and advocacy to advance this field:

• American Society for Clinical Laboratory Science (ASCLS)
• American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP)

Looking for a Career?

Laboratory science is a field that involves a combination of education, training, and hands-on experience. The Biotechnician Aptitude and Competence Exam (BACE) is a great place to start if you are interested in becoming a medical laboratory professional. This industry-recognized exam is designed to assess core skills and knowledge defined by the bioscience industry, helping you gain the training and hands-on experience to grow in the laboratory science industry or a number of other prominent biotech fields.

Happy Lab Week 2025!
