The Department of Laboratory Medicine was established in 2014 and is located on the second floor of the Outpatient Building and the first floor of the Infectious Diseases Building, with a total building area of over 3400 square meters, comprehensively undertaking all laboratory testing for the hospital’s outpatients, emergency patients, inpatients, and Health Examination Center.

The department has a strong talent pool and a well-developed disciplinary structure, with 47 staff members at present, including 2 chief physicians/chief technologists, 3 associate chief physicians/technologists, 19 staff members with intermediate professional titles, and 12 master’s and doctoral graduate students. It is equipped with dozens of internationally advanced instruments and has five professional groups, which can perform nearly 500 testing items, including blood and body fluid testing, cardiac/hepatic/renal function, hemostasis and coagulation, and platelet function, thromboelastography, blood typing, bone marrow and semen testing, flow cytometry, autoantibodies, allergens, trace elements, vitamins, blood drug concentrations, infection immunology, tumor markers, hormones, osteoporosis, immunoglobulins and complement, immunofixation protein electrophoresis, bacterial and fungal culture and identification, cervical exfoliative cytology testing, nucleic acid testing, and pharmacogenetic testing, comprehensively covering clinical diagnosis and treatment needs.

As an important component of Peking University Eighth School of Clinical Medicine, the department balances teaching and research, undertakes teaching for the clinical medicine major, and serves as an internship base for multiple universities. Since its establishment, the department has received honors within the hospital for many consecutive years, including “Excellent Clinical Department” and “Advanced Grassroots Party Branch”; it has always upheld the concept of “patient-centered, with quality as the benchmark,” followed the quality policy of “scientific, rigorous, accurate, and efficient,” and continued to provide high-quality laboratory services to clinical practice and patients.
