Interesting article, though given the potential downsides of bad drugs in the market I am not sure I feel a lot of sympathy for how expensive testing is. Making the testing cheaper and easier, sure, but we should be optimizing for the the accuracy above all else. It's not like consumers will see much benefit from cheaper tests, I imagine the whole process is still cost prohibitive outside of big pharma.
- trhway 10y ago>for how expensive testing is. having worked in BigCo-s i'm sure it is isn't the testing itself, it is E/S/VP salaries and travel budget :) For the testing itself : 100 people * $1K/day * 100 days = $10M, i.e. peanuts.
