Dr. Weidhaas attended Yale University as an undergraduate, Tufts Medical School to earn her MD/PhD, completed residency training at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and most recently earned a Masters in Business Management at the Stanford Business School. Dr. Weidhaas had been trying to navigate the system to make new diagnostics accessible to patients. She went to business school to understand why it's so hard. She found that in addition to raising awareness in patients and doctors about new tests, doctors must be brought on board to order tests and to bring payers on board. She put the new tests in a clinical trial to provide access with oversight and created a nonprofit to pay for tests for people who can't afford them.
