The Company launched its lead product, the ColonSentry test, in Canada earlier this year.

Mr. Terry is the co-founder and former Director of Consumer Advocacy & Governmental Affairs at Genomic Health. He is also co-founder and former President of the International Genetic Alliance, which focuses on empowering problem solving by networking the consumer movement, centers of excellence, and high technology with patient communities around the world. Mr. Terry has published dozens of peer-reviewed scientific papers, articles, and book chapters in the field of genetics, personalized medicine, and biomedical research. Some of his activities include leadership positions on numerous trade associations, professional societies, corporate boards, and he also sits on a number of U.S. federal advisory bodies.
