PANEL - Molecular diagnostics: Turning on the lights 4180
With the elucidation of the human genome and the revolution in molecular biology technologies, we are increasingly capable of monitoring human biology and disease in very sophisticated ways. Our ability to measure biological processes and indicators is now essentially "turning on the lights" on our ability to understand how life works. But tests using molecular methods, including molecular diagnostics, are the rate-limiting step for the full promise of personalized medicine to be realized. Challenges include the development of viable business models and the lack of reimbursement policies that recognize the value of companion diagnostics. In addition, laboratory-developed tests are being used extensively, but not always with proper validation, and FDA is struggling to provide regulatory guidelines that address this issue without stifling innovation. What are the components of a thoughtful strategy for incorporating high-quality, validated molecular testing into the development and delivery of targeted health interventions?From:FasterCuresViews:2 0ratingsTime:59:00More inNonprofits Activism
