SAN DIEGO - Californer -- Dr. Edward Strong, the geneticist who co-founded and served as CEO of MedGenomics, Inc., has been named Scientific Director of iAssay, Inc. Strong will guide the researchers and engineers who are developing iAssay's product line.

iAssay is creating tools that support remote testing for COVID-19 and other medical conditions directly from patients' homes, physicians' offices, workplaces, and other locations. The data gathered by an iAssay device is uploaded to the Cloud, and instantly becomes available for evaluation by physicians and clinicians.

"iAssay is committed to empowering rapid, secure, accurate diagnostics, delivered from any remote location," Strong said. "This will greatly increase access to healthcare for all Americans, including the homebound and other underserved populations."

At MedGenomics, Inc., Strong helped consumers understand the real-world implications of genetic tests. Recently, as interim CEO of LifeGenomix, Inc., his team repurposed genetic testing capabilities originally designed for human athletic performance for use in non-human markets. In so doing, he was able to demonstrate proof of concept to support equine purchasing and training decisions. LifeGenomix's system was designed to create smarter, healthier, and more responsible breeding and veterinary care programs.

"Ed is a rare individual, combining world-class intelligence with a burning desire to help others," said Lonnie Adelman, founder and CEO of iAssay, Inc. "He'll lead a team that is passionate about meeting the ever-increasing health care needs of a diverse population."

iAssay's hand-held device serves multiple purposes. Lightweight and portable, it can be used by healthcare providers to analyze a patient sample of blood, urine, or saliva, then relay key diagnostic information to the Cloud.
