Theranos Plans To Show Its Data For The First Time This Summer
Theranos plans to show its data for the first time this summer
One of the biggest criticisms of controversial blood-testing startup Theranos has been simple: Where’s the data?
We may finally know — at least as soon as this summer.
Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes is scheduled to present data on the company's proprietary blood test on August 1, 2016 in Philadelphia at the annual American Association for Clinical Chemistry conference.
This will be the first time Theranos has presented its data at a scientific conference according to the AACC, and it will include data on Theranos’ proprietary finger-prick test and small collection system.
The AACC is an organization of professionals in the clinical laboratory field, including physicians, researchers, and lab professionals.
“AACC members have been asking for this information, and we are thrilled that Ms. Holmes is presenting the science behind the technology for the first time at AACC, the premier scientific forum for laboratory medicine,” AACC CEO Janet B. Kreizman said in a news release.
Theranos board member David Boies told Bloomberg that some data will also be released before the start of the conference.
Theranos has come under fire over the last six months regarding the accuracy of its blood tests, particularly its finger-prick tests that only require a small amount of blood. Theranos has not publicly released any data on how well its tests work in comparison to standard blood tests, though in recent weeks the company has added a scientific advisory board tasked in part with finding ways to present data to the scientific community.
In the meantime, the company has been facing ongoing investigations by the SEC and the US Attorney’s Office, and it has stopped running tests out of its northern California laboratory until things with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, which has issued the company warning letters, is straightened out.
Theranos did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Solar System: Things to Know This Week
Here are a few things you should know about our solar system this week:
1. Beyond Pluto
The principle investigator for the New Horizons mission reports that the spacecraft is healthy and has recently completed the halfway point in its long download of 50-plus gigabits of data about the Pluto system. Now, the New Horizons team has submitted a proposal to continue the exploration. Find out more HERE.
2. A Planet of Particular Importance
April 22 is Earth Day, and we’re deeply involved in studying and understanding how to protect our one and only home world. Join us for a #24Seven celebration of Earth Day. Learn more about our missions to Earth HERE.
3. It’s True — All of It
Sci-fi meets real space exploration when BB8 the droid gets to know Maggie, the engineering model for the Mars Curiosity rover, in a short video produced by some of the people behind Star Wars. Take a look HERE. Photo credit: LucasFilm
4. Bringing Home a Piece of the Sky
Did you know that we’re planning to bring part of an asteroid to Earth? The ambitious OSIRIS-REx mission, which will retrieve a sample from the asteroid Bennu, is slated for launch later this year.
5. Catch Them — If You Can
The best time to view the Lyrids meteor shower will be just before dawn on April 23, when the constellation Lyra is overhead and the moon will be near to setting. Be aware, however, that this year the light of the full moon will make them harder to spot. Find out what else is up in this month’s night skies HERE.
