About Chris Strohsahl:
Chris Strohsahl is the President and CEO of Drummond Scientific Company. A biophysicist by training, with expertise in the innovation of diagnostic techniques and devices, he rose to Drummond’s top position at the start of 2022 and has since led the Company’s rebranding as an elite manufacturing partner to both leaders and disruptors in the IVD and IVF industries. A passionate believer that medical device development works best when end-stage manufacturing is engaged early, Chris and his colleagues have driven a paradigm-shift at the Company, as Drummond now actively seeks to engage its partners far earlier than would be expected of a typical high-throughput manufacturer.
