Erica is the co-founder and Chief Science Officer at the life sciences company, Geneoscopy. She developed the idea for a non-invasive, highly sensitive colorectal cancer screening test based on her first rotation at Barnes-Jewish Hospital after meeting a 52-year old woman who arrived at the hospital with Stage IV colorectal cancer. The woman had never been screened for colorectal cancer because she could not take time off work for a colonoscopy—she is not alone; 44 million eligible Americans remain unscreened today. Yet colon cancer is one of the most preventable cancers if caught early.
