“We're starting to get to a place where we have a better understanding of more medications that we know are affected by the way in which your body may metabolize or not metabolize the medicine, as it relates specifically to your DNA. The other thing is that not only have we gained more understanding of more medications, but we've also gotten to a place where it's a little more cost-effective in testing the right people who we believe would benefit from this.” – Jessica Lea
