QuantiPath, a biotechnology company working in rapid pathogen detection and food safety diagnostics, is adding Tyler Stephens to its growing team of food safety experts.

Stephens has 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.

Throughout his career, Stephens has worked across both the scientific and commercial sides of food safety. His experience includes supporting molecular testing platforms, conducting validation and feasibility studies across food matrices, managing field application and technical support teams, developing training programs and helping customers implement testing technologies in real-world production and laboratory environments.

This combination of applied research, customer-facing support and commercialization experience brings unique perspective to QuantiPath as the company continues expanding its rapid pathogen testing platform.

"Tyler brings a valuable combination of scientific expertise, applied food safety experience, and customer-facing technical knowledge," said John LoPorto, CEO of QuantiPath. "His background aligns directly with QuantiPath's mission to bring faster, more actionable pathogen insights to the food industry."

"QuantiPath is focused on giving the food industry better data, faster," said Stephens. "I'm excited to join a team that is advancing pathogen testing beyond simple presence or absence and helping customers make more informed decisions."

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.
