"Grail, which counted Jeff Bezos and Gates among its early backers, has developed one of the world’s first early detection blood tests. The test, which it named Galleri, aims to detect up to 50 different types of cancer, including many that are not part of national screening programmes. It is currently being tested in trials, including a UK National Health Service study involving 140,000 people.”

“Policy in the absence of monitoring is not effective,” Kelly Cobey, Ph.D., director of the Open Science and Meta Research program at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute and first author of the study, said in a press release. “We have reached an agreement on how to design a digital dashboard to track open science practices to determine if we are doing a good job implementing them or not.”
