Dr. Jackson’s research interests include economic analysis of diagnostic testing, physician utilization of laboratory tests, and corporate social responsibility in healthcare. He is certified in clinical pathology by the American Board of Pathology.
Ji
Dr. Ji received her PhD in molecular pharmacology and experimental therapeutics at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
She is board certified in clinical pharmacology and clinical molecular genetics, and she currently serves as codirector of the Laboratory Genetics and Genomics Fellowship program at the University of Utah School of Medicine. Dr. Ji’s primary clinical and research focus is pharmacogenomics, and she has coauthored several instrumental clinical guidelines for clinical pharmacogenomics testing and implementation. Dr. Ji has also endeavored to develop a valued-added model for noninvasive prenatal testing from a reference laboratory perspective as the medical director of the test at ARUP.
Johnson
Dr. Johnson received her BA in chemistry from the University of Minnesota, Morris, and her PhD in chemistry from the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
She was a postdoctoral research associate at University of California, Los Angeles, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in clinical chemistry at the University of Minnesota Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology.
Dr. Johnson is a diplomate of the American Board of Clinical Chemistry and a member of the American Association for Clinical Chemistry.
Johnson-Davis
Dr. Johnson-Davis received her BS in biochemistry from the University of California, Riverside, and her PhD in pharmacology from the University of Utah. She was a postdoctoral research associate at the Center for Human Toxicology and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in clinical chemistry at the University of Utah School of Medicine Department of Pathology.
Dr. Johnson-Davis is board certified in clinical chemistry and toxicological chemistry. She is a diplomate of the American Board of Clinical Chemistry and a fellow of the AACC Academy. Dr. Johnson-Davis currently serves as the Director for the Clinical Chemistry Fellowship Program in the Department of Pathology at the University of Utah.
Slev
Dr. Slev earned her PhD in immunology and laboratory medicine from the University of Florida, Gainesville, and completed a fellowship in clinical chemistry at the University of Utah.
Her research interests are in immunogenetics and pathogen interactions, particularly HIV and viral hepatitis.
Leonard
Dr. Leonard received her bachelor of university studies (BUS) in nutritional biology from the University of Utah, where she was interested in exercise physiology research, vitamin D, and melanoma in flight attendants and pilots.
She received her MD from the Larner College of Medicine in Burlington, Vermont. While in medical school, she worked on projects involving exercise-based rehabilitation in oncology patients and summertime blood bank supply shortages.
Dr. Leonard's academic interests include gastrointestinal pathology and medical education.
March
Dr. March received his BS in microbiology and bacteriology from Brigham Young University, where he developed polymerase chain reaction-based and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-based assays for the rapid identification and differentiation of numerous CDC select agents.
He received his MD degree from the University of Nevada, Reno, School of Medicine. While in medical school, he studied various modalities for the detection and diagnosis of melanoma.
Dr. March’s academic interests include medical education optimization and digital pathology utilization.
