DENVER — QuantiPath announced the addition of Dr. Tyler Stephens to its growing team of food safety experts.

The manufacturer said Stephens brings more than two decades of experience across food microbiology, molecular diagnostics, applied food safety research, technical sales, customer support and regulatory affairs. His background includes leadership and technical roles with SK8 Biotechnologies, Hygiena, Roka Bioscience, Micro Enviro Tech, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development's Food Processing Development Centre and Texas Tech University.

"I'm excited to join a team that is advancing pathogen testing beyond simple presence or absence and helping customers make more informed decisions," he said

The addition of Stephens further strengthens QuantiPath's technical and commercial expertise as the company continues expanding its presence across food production, poultry, livestock, laboratory and broader food safety markets, the manufacturer said.
