Australian and US MedTech startup Nutromics (Nutromics or the Company), a global leader in DNA-based biosensors, announced that Dr Agim Beshiri, most recently Senior Medical Director at Abbott Laboratories, has joined the organisation as its inaugural Chief Medical Officer (CMO).

Dr Beshiri is an accomplished senior medical device executive with special expertise in developing and implementing diagnostics research for biomarkers and has supported over 900 publications in Cardiology, Infectious Disease, and Oncology. Dr. Beshiri was most recently a Senior Medical Director at Abbott Laboratories, a MedTech leader valued at over $200 billion and known for its Freestyle Libre and Lingo biosensors. He has over 20 years of experience in the diagnostic space and specialises in lab medicine, and internal medicine.

Based in the United States (US), Dr Beshiri will be leading the charge on Nutromics' medical research, regulatory engagement, clinical development, and hospital partnerships. "I am excited to play my part in transforming Nutromics' innovative technology into a clinically implementable technology in a clinician's hands. This will drive both improved patient management by clinicians as well as improved outcomes because continuous monitoring has been missing from the diagnostics space in the last 50 years", he said.
