Peter Collins and Dr. Pepper Denman, both with Premaitha Health, spoke with Phillips Kuhl of CHI on October 30. Both Peter and Pepper will be speaking at CHI’s Third Annual Advances in Prenatal Molecular Diagnostics conference, taking place in Boston on November 16-18.

Topics covered in the podcast include perspectives on the differences between the U.S. and European markets for cell-free DNA prenatal testing, including the pros and cons of conducting such testing in-house compared to sending samples out for testing by a service provider.
