PathogenFocus, a trailblazer in innovative air and surface disinfection technology, proudly announces the appointment of Dr. Mark H. Ereth as its Chief Medical Officer. Dr Ereth’s inclusion in the PathogenFocus team marks a significant milestone, propelling the company’s mission to provide safer and cleaner indoor environments for industries including healthcare, agriculture, food processing, manufacturing, commercial buildings, transportation, and more.
Dr. Ereth is an Emeritus Professor at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science.
PathogenFocus’s proprietary disinfection technology, Air Disinfection Biosecurity (ADB), harnesses the power of cold (nonthermal) plasma and is backed by rigorous scientific research proving its exceptional effectiveness and safety eradicating viruses, bacteria, and fungi from the air and surfaces. ADB is poised to amplify its impact and redefine industry standards for mitigating bioburden including pathogens that cause workforce communicable diseases, healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs), foodborne illness, product spoilage, livestock disease, and fungal diseases plaguing indoor and vertical farming.
With an illustrious background in scientific research and medical expertise, Dr Ereth’s understanding of pathogens and his dedication to research and innovation align seamlessly with PathogenFocus’s vision for creating a healthier world.
“We are thrilled to welcome Dr Ereth to the PathogenFocus family,” said Charles Kassay, President and CEO of PathogenFocus. “His broad knowledge and pioneering contributions in the medical field will play a pivotal role in furthering our mission of delivering superior air disinfection solutions across various sectors.”
“After an extensive review of over 40 research studies, it appears that PathogenFocus ADB technology’s near-instantaneous inactivation of pathogens in breathing-zone air, and significant reductions in overall bioburden make this technology an innovative and important part of enhancing infection prevention,” Dr. Ereth remarked. “It’s a pleasure to join PathogenFocus in their pursuit of cleaner, safer indoor environments.”
Beyond its technological innovation, PathogenFocus holds strong family values at its core. The team’s unwavering commitment to excellence in design, engineering, and biosafety echoes Dr Ereth’s own principles, making this collaboration a harmonious union of vision and values.
As Dr. Ereth begins this new role, PathogenFocus is poised to amplify its impact on breathing zone air. The company’s dedication to creating healthier indoor environments resonates powerfully with Dr. Ereth’s lifelong commitment to advancing scientific understanding and improving human well-being.
