Quest Diagnostics, which provides a direct-to-consumer service for athletes measuring their health and guiding them to improved performance through nutrition and exercise physiology, has partnered with Rutgers University to build a new sports science laboratory that the two will use for research.
The Quest Diagnostics Sports Science Laboratory at the Rutgers Center for Health & Human Performance in New Brunswick, N.J. will research and develop new innovations that combine Rutgers’ human athletic performance and recovery research with Quest Diagnostic’s technology from Blueprint for Athletes, its biometric testing service for competitive and professional athletes.
The goal of the newly formed collaboration, which is an extension of a relationship the two have had for the past few years, will be to accelerate understanding of how diagnostic information can aid in an athlete’s health and performance.
