From Computer Science to Genetic Testing

Color currently offers a saliva-based test of genetic variants linked to risk of cancers like breast, colon, and pancreatic cancer, as well as to heart disease and medication response.

“The question that we are really interested in is, are we at the point now where genomics shifts from being something that is used only in circumstances where people have had cancer multiple times, then you finally go and use it because it’s so expensive and onerous, to being something that you don’t think twice about?” Laraki says. He adds that in the future, he sees genetic testing being more integrated into healthcare.
