Maurice Chiang is the CEO and Co-Founder of Prairie Health, a new startup bringing genetic testing to a patient-centered approach to mental health. This is incredibly promising and forward-looking! Genetic testing provides useful information to psychiatrists and prescribing physicians about to how to treat people with varied cultural backgrounds.
Did you know that American women are often prescribed SSRIs at inappropriate dosages, for example, because of a "one size meets all" mentality that pervades our health system? Using data from genetic testing is a great first step toward addressing this issue.
Maurice earned his undergraduate degree in bioengineering at Stanford (which is where he met his co-founders), then got a master’s in computer science. In this podcast, we talk about where the team is now, and where they're going. I will definitely be keeping my eye on Prairie Health as I really admire their approach and work.
