Katadyn North America is a Minneapolis, MN-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
In 1993, a novel technology was invented by a team that included Jon Faiz Kayyem, PhD at The California Institute of Technology (CalTech). This invention combined nucleic acids and microelectronics to produce an electronic sensor for DNA detection. His invention was based on electrical detection of nucleic acids on a cassette based detection platform. Dr. Kayyem went on to found Clinical Micro Sensors, with the goal of translating this “eSensor” technology to disposable chips. Following several acquisitions of the technology, Dr. Kayyem became actively involved again in 2009, returning as an investor and then as CEO and Chairman of the Board. In 2009, a collaboration between Dr. Kayyem and Christopher Gleeson began. The two redefined the company strategy, and brought in a new board of directors, executive leadership team, and commercial management. In 2010, the company known at that time as Osmetech, was named GenMark Diagnostics and listed on NASDAQ. Mr. Gleeson remained an integral part of GenMark`s growth in the years that followed, serving as Chairman of the Board until his retirement in 2014. Dr. Kayyem currently serves as SVP, Research and Development.
Pacific Artisan Labs holds our commitment to quality and passion for the latest technology at the core of our process. Our independent lab network is able to be drastically differently, move nimbly, and respond to what our customers need. We build long-term relationships with our partners and continue to refine our techniques, tools, and lenses as true artistic expressions of skill with a goal to improve the practices we work with and the patients they serve. Guided by a passion for the craft of lens design and desire to do things differently, Brandon Butler founded Pacific Artisan Labs early in 2018. His rich experience in the industry and focus on quality makes him uniquely equipped to serve as President and CEO. United by our mission to team up with optometrists and ophthalmologists in their pursuit of excellence, our lab technicians create the quality difference in our lenses. PAL`s lab staff includes some of the most talented artisans in the optical industry. Our team is what separates PAL from every other lab in the network. Any lab can have great designs, top-notch equipment, and good prices; but without the best talent, the latest tech is pointless. That`s why PAL only works with the best of the best. We`re an independent lab and our culture reflects that breakaway from the corporate mold. Innovative and creative, our team joined PAL to contribute to the maker revolution. We`re curious artists, skilled technicians, driven data analysts, and inventive strategists.
