Biochemist Rebuilds Theranos Tech, Claims It Could Exonerate Elizabeth Holmes Self-taught biochemist Elhosseiny has reconstructed Theranos' failed blood-testing device and claims it is now fully functional. His work, presented at a New York City event, aims to challenge Elizabeth Holmes' fraud conviction by proving the underlying technology is valid. A self-taught biochemist, Elhosseiny recently showcased his reconstructed Theranos device at a screening of 'The Dropout' in New York City. He claims that the technology-rebuilt from scratch using trial exhibits and company patents-is not only functional but has the potential to exonerate Elizabeth Holmes, who is currently serving an 11-year sentence for fraud. Elhosseiny's group, Just Blood, is advocating for a re-examination of the evidence to overturn Holmes' conviction. Despite the skepticism surrounding Theranos' original claims, Elhosseiny is confident that the data from his experiments will prove the technology is valid, though the FDA has not verified his results.
