Do you publish findings or case studies?
Yes, Molecular You actively contributes to scientific publications, conference presentations, and case studies to advance the field of preventive health and precision medicine.
-
Are there data-sharing or research partnerships? Can I access anonymized data for studies?
Molecular You partners with research institutions, healthcare organizations, and academic centers for collaborative studies. Anonymized data may be available for qualified research projects under a...
-
Are reports peer-reviewed or reviewed by medical experts? Are there indications of uncertainty or confidence intervals?
Reports are reviewed by medical experts and indicate confidence intervals or uncertainty ranges where appropriate, so both patients and providers understand the strength of each finding.
-
What is the turnaround time for results? What format are results delivered in (raw data, interpretive report)?
Results are typically available within 2-4 weeks after our lab receives a patient sample. Patients receive a comprehensive interpretive report via the Molecular You Patient Portal, and clinicians c...

We emphasize contextual interpretation by qualified healthcare providers and discourage making clinical decisions based on single abnormal findings. Our reports are designed for holistic, evidence-...
-
How much of the variation is due to environmental vs. genetic vs. lifestyle factors?
Biomarker levels often reflect a complex interplay between genetics, environment, and lifestyle. Our assessments emphasize modifiable risk factors such as diet, pollution exposure, and physical act...
-
What are the false positives / negatives? Which exposures cannot be measured reliably or at all?
While LC-MS greatly minimizes error rates, no test is completely free of false positives or negatives. We clearly indicate uncertainty ranges in our reports and focus only on biomarkers with valida...
-
How can results be integrated into patient care / preventive medicine? What actionable interventions exist?
Results are designed for clinical actionability, helping providers guide lifestyle interventions, follow-up diagnostics, or preventive care strategies tailored to individual risk profiles.
-
Which exposures / biomarkers correlate with disease risk or existing literature? How strong are these associations?
Each biomarker in our panels is selected based on strong scientific evidence linking it to health risks and biological pathways. We include references and risk interpretations in our clinician repo...
