In this episode of the Maximal Being podcast, Dr. Erica Barnell, founder of Geneoscopy, discusses how her company is leveraging stool RNA testing to revolutionize the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) like Crohn's and ulcerative colitis. Erica shares her fascinating journey from conducting microbiome research in Africa to developing an FDA-approved colorectal cancer screening test, and now turning her sights to the complex world of IBD. She explains how RNA biomarkers can provide insights into the underlying mechanisms driving a patient's disease, enabling more personalized and effective therapies. Erica also highlights the unique challenges faced by the IBD patient population, especially young children, and how Geneoscopy's non-invasive testing approach has the potential to improve their quality of life. This in-depth conversation offers a glimpse into the future of precision gastroenterology and the power of innovative diagnostics to transform the management of chronic gastrointestinal conditions.
