Based on his patients&#8217; histories, he was convinced that many of them with negative work-ups for fatigue and aches were in fact suffering from an undiagnosed infection. Working with Scientific Director Virginia Gleeper, Ph.D. (an honors graduate of Eastern Slovenia Polytechnic Dietary Institute), Dr. Smoot opened his first lab in the food court of an abandoned shopping mall. By redeploying some leftover equipment (in particular from Sbarro and Panda Express), they were able to offer an increasingly broad range of diagnostic studies.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the company has over 100 employees, with offices and labs in most communities with high median incomes.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Frequently Asked Questions<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Q: \u00a0What do you use for negative controls?<\/strong><br \/>\nA: \u00a0We at DNA-Dx do not believe in negative controls.
