Congratulations to Prerna Rastogi, MD, PhD, who has been appointed as Medical Director of the University of Iowa Diagnostic Laboratories (UIDL).

Through this program, UIDL helps enhance the quality of patient care across a global platform, supporting the reputation of UI Health Care as the top-ranked hospital in the state.

Dr. Rastogi will work closely with Andrew Costello, UIDL Manager, and lead the department through continued enterprise growth efforts in conjunction with her current position as Clinical Professor of Pathology. We are excited and looking forward to Dr. Rastogi’s leadership in this next phase.
