The Scientist | Elizabeth Cormier-May
In this contributed article for The Scientist, Mammogen Co-Founder and CEO Elizabeth Cormier-May explores why RNA may represent the next frontier in molecular diagnostics.
The article examines how RNA can provide a dynamic view of what is happening biologically in real time, and why that information may be particularly valuable in early cancer detection. Cormier-May also discusses the importance of moving beyond simply detecting disease earlier toward generating insights that can meaningfully inform clinical decisions and patient care.
NBC 10 News featured Mammogen CEO Elizabeth Cormier-May in its coverage of the evolving landscape of blood-based cancer detection and an upcoming FDA advisory committee review of GRAIL’s Galleri test. Cormier-May shared her perspective on the significance of liquid biopsy technology and discussed how Mammogen’s approach differs by focusing specifically on earlier breast cancer detection. The story also highlights Mammogen’s blood-based test and its potential role in supporting women who may need additional testing following their annual mammogram.

RNA opens a window into biology in motion, shifting molecular diagnostics from measuring more biology to finding the right biology in time to change patient care.
GenomeWeb featured Mammogen’s appointment of Elise Berman, M.D., as Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Berman previously served as a senior medical advisor to Mammogen and brings extensive experience across breast imaging, medical affairs, and clinical development. Her appointment supports Mammogen as the company continues advancing genTRU-breast™ through clinical validation and toward commercialization. Read the full article on GenomeWeb →
