Erica shares her fascinating journey from conducting microbiome research in Africa to developing an FDA-approved colorectal cancer screening test, and now turning her sights to the complex world of IBD. She explains how RNA biomarkers can provide insights into the underlying mechanisms driving a patient's disease, enabling more personalized and effective therapies. Erica also highlights the unique challenges faced by the IBD patient population, especially young children, and how Geneoscopy's non-invasive testing approach has the potential to improve their quality of life. This in-depth conversation offers a glimpse into the future of precision gastroenterology and the power of innovative diagnostics to transform the management of chronic gastrointestinal conditions.
