    AI 🤝 Genomics | GeneDx CEO Katherine Stueland

    Technology is transforming genetic testing and bringing hope to families facing rare diseases. In this episode, GeneDx (Nasdaq: WGS) CEO Katherine Stuhlin sits down with Steve Kraus to share how AI is being used to crack life's most complex code and speed up diagnosis from years to days. We cover: 🧬 The evolution from single-gene testing (remember BRCA?) to whole genome sequencing, and why the Supreme Court's decision to ban gene patents changed everything 🔬 How 1 in 10 Americans has a rare disease, yet the path to diagnosis traditionally takes 6-8 years 💪 How parents become "honorary PhDs" in their children's rare conditions and how this drives research forward 🤖 With only 1,500 medical geneticists nationwide, AI can help bridge the expertise gap 💰 The shifting landscape of insurance coverage and why states are starting to see the value of early genetic diagnosis 📊 How GeneDx built the world's largest rare disease database (700,000 clinical exomes and counting) and what that means for future drug development 👩‍💼 Katherine's journey from communications major to CEO, and why having more women leaders matters in healthcare --- Shortcuts: 00:00 Introduction and Overview 01:29 Advancing Diagnoses for Rare Diseases 06:33 The Evolution of Genetic Testing 10:44 The Cost and Coverage of Genetic Testing 21:55 The Role of AI in Genomics and Genetic Testing 29:43 From Communications to CEO: Katherine's Journey 35:23 Promoting Gender Equality in the C-Suite --- About our guest: Katherine Stueland has dedicated her career to revolutionizing healthcare with patient-centered business approaches.
