ALAMEDA, Calif.--()--Alveo Technologies, a leader in developing novel technologies that enable real-time, low-cost, at-home molecular detection of infectious disease, today announced that Fran Soistman has joined the company’s Scientific Advisory Board (SAB).

As a member of Alveo’s SAB Soistman will leverage his proven track record leading and governing healthcare businesses to provide strategic support in Alveo’s efforts to bring to market the company’s be.well™ platform, a point-of-care and at-home diagnostic tool currently under development.

“Fran has a longstanding history of successfully leading healthcare companies of all sizes – from startups to well-established entities – and driving results,” said Ron Chiarello, PhD, Chairman, CEO and Founder of Alveo. “With the current global need for rapid and reliable infectious disease diagnostics, our mission to make these capabilities available in the home and to help individuals connect to the right kind of care is critical.

Throughout his career, Soistman has held several executive leadership positions and has pioneered new innovations, from products to funding arrangements – like the first pre-funded health insurance program for retirees. He has also led several business turnarounds and has had great success in accelerating sustainable business growth. As a member of the SAB, Soistman will leverage his deep industry knowledge to guide Alveo’s efforts in driving growth for, and implementation of, affordable and convenient testing of infectious diseases in the consumer market in order to enable faster, more precise interventions.

“I am greatly looking forward to impacting Alveo’s progress with its be.well™ platform, and supporting its goal of bringing rapid, wide-spread diagnostics to the masses,” said Soistman. “The work Alveo has done to bring to life an affordable, user-friendly, at-home diagnostic platform is incredibly forward-thinking and has the potential to completely alter the way healthcare leaders and public health officials navigate disease detection and management. It is exciting to be part of such an innovative group and to have a hand in influencing the expansion of the be.well™ platform.”
