Dr. Jaffe's Biography — Allan S. Jaffe, M.D., is a consultant and chair of the Division of Clinical Core Laboratory Services at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, with a joint appointment in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine. He holds the academic rank of professor of laboratory medicine and pathology and also professor of medicine. Dr. Jaffe's research interests include a long academic career investigating the use of biomarkers to characterize the pathobiology of acute cardiovascular disease.
