FOUNDER'S BIO

Founder
Mark co-founded Curlin Medical, and managed its quality, regulatory affairs, and supply chain. Following Curlin's acquisition by Moog, Mark founded First Medical Source (FMS) and led the FDA clearance of an elastomeric pump, later acquired by B Braun and rebranded as EasyPump®.

His project leadership includes work on heart valves, heart pumps, infusion pumps, hemodialysis machines, patient monitoring systems, glucose monitoring systems, ventilators and neonatal phototherapy devices.
In November 2024, Mark achieved clearance for InfuLife®, an elastomeric pump featuring a patented design that enhances accuracy and reduces leakage.
Mark holds a Ph.D. in Probability and Statistics, an M.S. in Stochastic Control, and an M.S. in Mathematical Engineering from the University of Sciences, Paris, France.
