The indu...<i>I am not against regulating the industry</i><br /><br />The industry is actually already regulated by CLIA. That’s part of why it’s blossoming. Shuren’s FDA is attempting a power grab, to justify itself as the sole authority over the human genome, and has been forcing other agencies and especially companies to knuckle under. Right now you can do a genomic startup for a few million, but FDA regulation will turn the whole shebang over to Big Pharma, who are the only guys that can afford the millions required to navigate the bureaucracy…and to pay off officials to defend “traditional manufacturers” against startups.<br /><br />There are a lot of professors and academics who have spoken out against what the FDA is doing, and who think that the assault will drive personal genomics overseas, just like the previous administration drove stem cells overseas. What a catastrophe that would be, for us to spend billions on the Human Genome Project and then have it all for naught.paulnoreply@blogger.com
