Everything Alexander Bisignano said on any show that made the record, most notable first. Each card names its show and opens the statement there.
Bisignano: Science has not truly sequenced the entire human genome
“We actually haven't truly sequenced the whole human genome just because there's so much variation that we can't capture yet.”
Bisignano: LabCorp and Quest hold an oligopoly on insurance contracts
“LabCorp and Quest have sort of an oligopoly on insurance contracts, and people tend to stay in network.”
Bisignano: Major diagnostic companies Quest and LabCorp lack agile software teams
“Most laboratory diagnostic companies are not set up as software companies. Example, Quest and LabCorp. Two largest companies in the country that do laboratory testing. Twelve billion dollar market cap. They are not agile software teams.”
Bisignano: Most genetic research is based on European and Jewish populations
“Most of genetics actually is based on studying European and Jewish individuals just because that's been the body of literature that's been developed over the past few decades.”
Bisignano: Recombine achieves over 65% patient opt-in rate for research
“We see a 65% or more opt-in from most of the centers”
Bisignano: Human genome sequencing costs fell from $3B to $1,000
“We finished the human genome, and then for the next decade, the human genome, the cost to sequence it went from three billion down to 1000.”
Bisignano: US has one genetic counselor per 250,000 people
“Right now there's about one genetic counselor for every 250,000 individuals in the U.S.”
Recombine offers a 250-disease genetic test for under $500 out-of-pocket
“We developed a test that can do 250 of the most common diseases of this nature for under 500 dollars to patients that don't have private insurance”
Bisignano: DNA and RNA represent nature's first digital storage system
“DNA and RNA are the two primary ways of storing information for biological organisms, and it's actually the first digital storage system, which is pretty interesting to think about it from that perspective.”
