Holmes hasn't actually claimed to have come up with any new discoveries or revolutionary technology while an undergraduate, I think. She had the idea for the company and decided to drop out. Of course, magazines like Inc. had no issues playing up her genius with Silicon Valley hyperbole.

Several people -- her professor? I forget -- warned her the blood test wouldn't work, even before she dropped out.

As I recall, she had a co-founder who built the tech, including the whole dorm room story.

Holmes is the MBA part of the team.
