About me
Jenelle Musick, DCLS, MPH, MLS(ASCP)
I earned my Undergraduate Degree in Clinical Laboratory Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2010. I received a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) for cancer and immunology research at Lineberger Cancer Center. The topics of my research include:
FoxP3 levels affecting Graft vs. Host Disease (GVHD) post Bone Transplantation (clinical)
Assessing various drugs in modulating GVHD in murine models
I received my Master in Public Health from Liberty University in 2016 while working at Duke Microbiology Laboratory. My capstone project was on administering influenza vaccination to patients who were receiving services at a local food pantry.
I received my Doctorate of Clinical Laboratory Science from Kansas University Medical Center in 2024. The role of the DCLS is to assist providers in selecting the appropriate test, ensuring appropriate specimen collection and assisting providers in test interpretation and educating patients. My research includes rapid Whole Genome Sequencing, Massive Transfusion Protocol Utilization and Utility of BioFire's GI panel.
In 2020, my husband and I opened our first pharmacy: Life Well Pharmacy in East Tennessee. Life Well Pharmacy aims to treat all patients like family. We offer CLIA-waived, Point-of-Care laboratory tests for everything from COVID, Strep, STD to urinalysis and glucose monitoring.
I have given a number of PACE presentations to laboratory professionals as well as lectures to patients. I am a part of the American Society for Microbiology, The National Drug and Alcohol Screening Association and Current President of the TN Chapter for the American Society of Clinical Laboratory Science.

Medical/ Laboratory Expert Witness
Many times, court cases involve medical and laboratory elements which require the consultation and evaluation of a medical professional. Dr. Musick is one of a handful of professionals in the country who holds the designation of Doctor of Clinical Laboratory Science and is available as an expert witness to speak on the interpretation and limitations of lab results, drug tests, DNA tests, and how medical conditions and drugs can affect the accuracy and reliability of these tests.
