Mayo Clinic Laboratories and Pathology Asia Expand Genomic Testing Across Asia-Pacific

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 25 Sep 2026

Mayo Clinic Laboratories and Pathology Asia Holdings (PAH), together with subsidiary LifeStrands Genomics, announced a strategic investment and collaboration focused on expanding access to advanced diagnostics and precision medicine across Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. More...

The initiative builds on a long-term relationship that combines global clinical and diagnostic expertise with a broad regional laboratory network and local market knowledge. In certain markets, LifeStrands will operate as “LifeStrands in collaboration with Mayo Clinic Laboratories” to reflect the joint offering.

The collaboration centers on genomics delivered through LifeStrands Genomics. The parties plan to broaden access to advanced molecular and genomic testing with applications spanning identification of genetic conditions, risk assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning. The goal is to enable healthcare providers to incorporate clinically relevant genomic findings into more personalized patient care across the region.

In support of clinical adoption, the organizations will pursue joint scientific initiatives, education, and thought leadership to help integrate genomics into care pathways. Pathology Asia provides pathology, molecular, and genomic testing through a network of internationally accredited laboratories operating across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Australia. LifeStrands Genomics comprises specialist laboratories in Singapore and Australia, along with DNA Laboratories, providing testing across oncology, reproductive health, inherited disorders, and wellness.

“Healthcare providers across Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand are increasingly seeking advanced diagnostic solutions to guide patient care. Our collaboration with PAH and LifeStrands Genomics reflects our commitment to a long-term strategic relationship that unites complementary strengths in laboratory diagnostics and genomics. Through this collaboration, we are bringing advanced diagnostic capabilities closer to patients and equipping healthcare providers with the insights needed to deliver personalised care,” said William Morice II, M.D., Ph.D., president and CEO of Mayo Clinic Laboratories.

“Mayo Clinic Laboratories' investment marks an important milestone in our relationship and a strong foundation for the next phase of diagnostic innovation across the region," said Christopher Ting, M.D., founder and CEO of Pathology Asia Holdings. "Combining Mayo Clinic Laboratories' global clinical and scientific expertise with PAH's regional diagnostic capabilities and network will enable us to broaden access to advanced testing and increase access to genomics and precision medicine capabilities across Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand.”
