The team has many years of experience disrupting life sciences and is making compelling progress at Quanterix digitizing biomarker analysis to advance the science of precision health. The company has grown rapidly, increasing revenues 45 percent this past year, 45 percent the previous year, and 300 percent over the past three years.

In 2016, Hrusovsky founded a summit entitled Powering Precision Health, the nation's first summit dedicated to bringing the world's leading physicians, scientists, innovators, investors, policy makers and patient advocates together to fuel the revolution to early detection, disease prevention and next-generation treatments. The next summit will be on Oct. 24-25 in Boston, Mass.
