Founding Team

The EVolvDx leadership team brings together decades of experience in extracellular vesicle (EV) diagnostics, liquid biopsy development, and life sciences commercialization. The team previously founded and built Exosome Diagnostics, where they developed the world’s first clinically validated exosome-based diagnostic tests, including a prostate cancer test that has supported hundreds of thousands of patients and is included in clinical guidelines for early detection and risk assessment. Their work has also led to advanced EV isolation technologies, ultra-sensitive molecular assays, and biomarker platforms licensed and commercialized by leading global life science companies.
