Stratos Product Development today announced it has appointed a Director of Point-of-Care Diagnostics to support its significant involvement in the field of in vitro diagnostics and growing involvement in global health initiatives for emerging markets. Wallace White, formerly the Director of Mechanical Engineering for Stratos, has been promoted to the position.
Stratos has a long history of providing development expertise in the field of point-of-care (POC) and central-lab diagnostics for clients including Abbott Laboratories, Response Biomedical, Becton Dickenson, Atlas Genetics, Alere, NanoMR and Gen Probe. In recent years, the company has partnered with the largest non-governmental global health organization in the United States to bring new solutions to emerging markets in India, Asia, South America and Africa.
"With Wallace White's leadership, Stratos is well-positioned to build upon significant presence in point-of-care diagnostics. Over nearly a decade of working with our diagnostic clients, Wallace has gained expansive expertise in emerging markets and leading-edge diagnostic technologies.
