Wade received his MBA from the University of North Carolina Kenan-Flagler Business School, and his B.S. in Zoology from Brigham Young University.
“deepull’s innovative approach to rapid pathogen identification has the potential to provide a marked improvement over standard of care testing for patients with sepsis,” said Dr. Kimberle Chapin, new Chief Medical Officer of deepull. “I am looking forward to sharing my experience from the laboratory and clinical practice to help deliver improved patient outcomes through early detection.”
