Dr. Urtatiz holds degrees in both biology and chemistry, a Master’s degree in Human Genetics and Molecular Biology and a PhD in Medical Genetics. He is focused on leveraging the Company’s breakthrough biochemistry to support new IP applications and additional product opportunities in the diagnostic space and beyond.

Larisa Baesu has joined Gemina as the Director of Quality Assurance and Compliance. Ms. Baesu brings 15 years of high-level experience in the medical device industry building, implementing and leading quality assurance teams. As a quality assurance specialist, she has held comparable roles with Biolytical Laboratories and Change Healthcare. Ms. Baesu will lead the Company’s progression towards ISO certification, a core component of regulatory product approvals.
