Abstract
Diagnostic Laboratories in a hospital perform a range of tests which supports diagnosis and treatment. Laboratory data provides enormous potential for research. Laboratory professionals help with research from interpretation of clinical data to the analysis of structure and function of even the newly discovered proteins. This retrospective observational study looks for the involvement and role of laboratory data in research projects submitted for review by the Institutional Human Ethics Committee (IHEC) for the past one year. The involvement of diagnostic laboratory services in research projects approved by the Institutional human Ethics committee, during the Oct’2012- Sep’2013 was collected using a standard proforma. The data was analysed statistically.The results indicated that less than 30% of the research projected submitted to IHEC had involved the services of diagnostic laboratories. 74% of these studies were observational. It was also observed that the usage of clinical biochemistry laboratory predominates over other disciplines. However the special investigations were rarely utilized. Research projects in diagnostic departments have primarily used their own laboratory services. An awareness programme among the investigators about the diagnostic facilities available at the institution will enhance the researchers to expand their research for comprehensive utilization of diagnostic services.
