About the Guest
Patricia Devers is the Chief Clinical Officer at Genova Diagnostics, one of the leading specialty laboratories supporting functional and integrative medicine worldwide.
She trained as a conventionally trained internal medicine physician and spent 20 years practicing in hospital and clinical settings before transitioning into functional medicine. Frustrated by the lack of long-term patient improvement in conventional care, she moved into systems-based medicine, where she has spent the past decade helping advance clinical laboratory science and practitioner education.
At Genova Diagnostics, Patricia Devers focuses on expanding the clinical utility of advanced diagnostic testing, including microbiome analysis, gastrointestinal function testing, and systems-based biomarker interpretation. Her work emphasizes an ecological model of health, where disease is understood as a disruption of interconnected biological systems.
She is a leading advocate for integrating functional medicine into mainstream healthcare through better diagnostics, education, and clinical decision support, with a particular focus on gut health, chronic disease, and personalized medicine.
