The work in context.

Kennedy served as Chief Scientific Officer from September 2008 and became Chief Medical Officer in January 2018. Her expanded Global CSO/CMO role was announced in January 2022. Veracyte reported an agreed departure effective December 31, 2022. Selected coauthored publications document work on molecular classifiers; they should not be read as claims of sole authorship or a quantified personal clinical outcome.

How could genomic classifiers help frame clinical questions across more than one disease area?

What the evidence can say

The boundary matters.

Coauthorship and executive roles do not establish sole authorship, individual invention or a quantified personal patient outcome. The documented Veracyte departure was effective December 31, 2022.
