Jordan Paradise – Exploring PrecisionFDA, an Online Platform for Crowdsourcing Genomics.
Paradise critically evaluates the FDA’s online platform – which promises increased accuracy and quality in genetic sequencing-based tests – looking specifically at precision medicine and the rapid advances in the treatment of difficult to treat diseases, including certain cancers.
