Controversies and legal
Controversy
At the 68th AACC Annual Scientific Meeting in 2016, Elizabeth Holmes, CEO and founder of Theranos, spoke at what AACC described as a “special session.” Holmes, who the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) had recently been banned from owning, operating or directing a blood testing service for a period of two years, was invited to present scientific data on her company's much discussed Edison device. Instead, Holmes took the opportunity to unveil a new product dubbed miniLab. Several people on the Theranos scientific advisory board were members of the association.
