VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 8, 2022 / Gemina Laboratories Ltd. (CSE:GLAB)(FRA:8I7) (the “Company” or “Gemina“) is pleased to announce the appointment of Brian Firth as an adviser to the Company.
Brian Firth is a proven executive from the point-of-care diagnostics sector. He spent nearly eight years at Swiss Precision Diagnostics, initially as Managing Director of Swiss Precision Diagnostics’ UK subsidiary, before becoming Chief Operating Officer of the parent company, Swiss Precisions Diagnostic GmbH. Swiss Precision Diagnostics is the manufacturer of the Clearblue family of pregnancy and fertility monitoring tests. At Swiss Precision, Brian was responsible for a broad range of business processes including quality management, HR, regulatory affairs, customer service and research leadership. Swiss Precision is jointly owned by Procter & Gamble and Abbott Laboratories.

His career also includes time in the human wellness market, particularly human performance monitoring for applications in sports medicine and workplace diagnostics.
“I started looking at the Gemina chemistry platform in 2021,” stated Brian Firth. “I believe it has the potential to take point-of-care testing by storm. It is a technology proposition that one sees perhaps once or twice in a career. I’m really pleased to be formally enrolled with the Advisory Board, and I am looking forward to helping shape the next few chapters in Gemina’s development”.
