Larry interviews Bill Worzell for this week's Innovations in Michigan Business. Bill Worzell is the CEO of "Genetics Squared." Genetics Squared is a life science company, founded in 2001 and located in Michigan, that is currently working on developing a new diagnostic test for Cancer. Larry and Bill discuss the positives and negatives of developing a bio-tech type company in the state of Michigan.

Genetics Squared is primarily focused on developing molecular diagnostics. Molecular diagnostics are tests that use genes, and differences in genes, to provide information. The information that they find can then be used to predict the course of a disease, and the likelihood of a disease to respond to a particular therapy.
