About Reumalab
In 1969, Javier Molina, M.D., pioneered the implementation of new techniques for the diagnosis of rheumatic diseases and created rheumatology services in the “Hospital San Vicente de Paul” and the Social Security Institute. In the same year, Dr. Molina founded the Specialized Clinical Laboratory in Rheumatology, as support to process the samples of his patients to make more precise diagnoses. Since then, the laboratory has been the standard bearer in the performance of different rheumatologic tests such as antinuclear antibodies, rheumatoid factors, synovial fluid studies, anticardiolipin antibodies, biochemical markers for osteoporosis, among others. Subsequently, his private practice and the clinical laboratory were transformed into the Reumalab Integral Rheumatology Center in which the best diagnostic practices were combined with care for patients with different pathologies; and in 1997, in conjunction with Dr. Jose Fernando Molina, specialized research in patients with rheumatologic and autoimmune diseases. Today, Reumalab continues to expand in other therapeutic areas and is a top and leading clinical research center in Medellin, Colombia.
