Nothing makes us happier than expanded access to #WGS. Our Chief Medical Officer shares what this could mean for the 44 million people gaining insurance coverage for WGS.

Happy to share my thoughts on how United's and Cigna's coverage of WGS for individuals suspected of having genetic disease help celebrate the 20th anniv. of Human Genome Project and the 70th anniv. of Watson and Crick’s discovery of the DNA double helix. linkedin.com/pulse/step-cha

Understanding the value of early detection is essential to improving #cancer outcomes. and 's op-ed serves as a reminder on #WorldHealthDay for the need to invest in multi-cancer #screening tests to improve patient care and save lives.

In their new Forefront article, @AmerCancerCEO and @PhilFebboMD_CMO of @AmericanCancer + @illumina argue that, in order to turn more cancers from death sentences to treatable diseases, we must move away from tests that screen for a single cancer at a time. bit.ly/42RHQ86

In 1928, Dr. Alexander Fleming found mold growing on a Petri dish of Staphylococcus bacteria that produced self-defense chemicals and named this substance  Penicillin. In 1962, Chicago city workers dumped 100 pounds of dye into the river, kick-starting an annual tradition.
