Matthew P. Parker Ph.D.
Chief Scientific Officer
Matthew received his Bachelor of Science (Molecular Bioscience) from the University of Kansas. At that time, his passion for science allowed him to excel in Molecular Biology, Genetics, and Microbiology. During that time, he also worked as a surgical technician in a privately owned oral/maxillofacial surgeon’s office, where he accumulated more than 4,160 hours in the operating room. After obtaining his undergraduate degree, he worked in academic research for a year before being accepted into the highly competitive Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences (IGPBS) at the University of Kansas Medical Center. After completing his core coursework, he joined the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and earned the second-highest entrance exam score in the department’s history. Once in the department, he specialized in biochemical and molecular diagnostic technologies. He utilized these techniques to investigate the mechanisms that regulate gene activation and repression. His dissertation focused on investigating gene regulatory mechanisms and developing new therapeutics for Sickle Cell Disease and certain kinds of β-thalassemias. After successfully defending his dissertation, he took a postdoctoral fellowship in the department with a collaborating principal investigator to continue his work. After his postdoctoral fellowship, he became a General Clinical Laboratory Supervisor with Molecular Lab Associates. In this role, he was initially tasked with building a fully accredited, high-complexity clinical laboratory from scratch. He accomplished this goal in just over a year and obtained full accreditation with zero remedial actions required. He then moved into his current role as Chief Science Officer and Technical Supervisor; in this role, he works with clients, upper management, and biotechnology companies to educate and implement molecular diagnostic techniques in clinical laboratories throughout the United States.
