“We are excited to have Brett Swansiger on board. Over the last year, DxTerity has made tremendous progress in bridging the power of precision medicine to autoimmune disease. Our type 1 interferon (IFN-1) test for systemic lupus erythematous (SLE), the most common form of lupus, has been shown to be a significant predictor of a patient’s risk of developing lupus nephritis (p=0.0008) and it is being used extensively by pharmaceutical companies in clinical trials. The IFN-1 test is now available for patient use, and Brett’s experience with obtaining reimbursement and contracting with manage care organizations will play a pivotal role in this testing being adopted by the medical community across the US,” according to Bob Terbrueggen, Founder and CEO of DxTerity Diagnostics.
