"I am thrilled to be joining Dr. Allaway and his team to accelerate the adoption of this life changing technology.

We will be able to increase cancer detection rates by generating better tissue samples and reduce the over prescription of antibiotics that is required for TRUS (transrectal ultrasound biopsy)" said Ken Knudson, incoming CEO.
