Herranos, a business empire built with a drop of blood, gained a valuation of up to $9 billion in just a few years.

Holmes has also been punished by the regulatory authorities: the laboratory must not be operated for two years.

It is not only Steve Jobs who likes to wear a black turtleneck sweater, but also Elizabeth Holmes, CEO of Theranos.
In 2003, 19-year-old Holmes dropped out of Stanford and founded the blood test company Theranos, which consisted of the words "therapy" and "diagnosis". In order to make blood testing a wonderful experience, Theranos intends to achieve five breakthroughs: to get rid of blood by venous blood collection, to use a few drops of blood to complete the diagnosis, to automate the testing process to reduce human error, to detect more quickly and Obtain results and reduce blood testing costs.
Theranos quickly attracted big-name investors and politicians, including Google Ventures, Oracle founder Larry Ellison, and so on. The value of Theranos has soared to $9 billion.

In March of this year, the Journal of Clinical Research published a study that found that Theranos had a higher incidence of abnormal results in cholesterol tests than its competitors Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp. Theranos questioned the accuracy of the study. However, in May, Theranos said that the blood test results on his blood test instrument "Edison" were invalid in 2014-2015.
In July of this year, Holmes was also punished by the regulatory authorities: the laboratory could not be operated for two years.
Since the establishment of Theranos in 2003, many of the company's affairs have been kept secret. So far, Holmes has never disclosed any peer-reviewed data.
Now, Theranos also faces nine class actions from angry patients.
The company, which had a valuation of $9 billion, is currently valued at zero.
