Sepehr brings 10 years of hands-on R&D experience in biosensing technology, specializing in electrical and electrochemical biosensors, microfabrication, signal transduction, and immunoassay design. His innovative work appears in 23 publications (with 600+ citations) in top journals, and a US patent on electrochemical biosensors for point-of-care applications. During his post-doctoral work, Sepehr led technology transfer projects with major pharmaceutical companies like Bracco S.p.A. As CTO at Sensoreal Inc., a Montreal-based startup, he directed the development of the company’s first product PSPAlert and helped secure over $1 million in non-dilutive funding. Sepehr holds a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from Polytechnic Milan.

Sape has 15 years of experience designing medical device consumables and highly-automated manufacturing equipment for those consumables—which currently make tens of millions of units per year. As Director of R&D Engineering at the Epocal Division of Siemens, he was responsible for test-cartridge design for Siemens ‘epoc’ blood analyzers and contributed to many stages of the development process, from R&D to New Product Introduction. Sape has a Master’s of Mechanical Engineering from Queen’s University.

Marco has held senior sales, marketing, and product positioning roles in three leading near-patient testing companies, over 20 years. At Abbott he was Netherlands National Sales Director.
