John S. Foster PhD

Dr. John Foster has been the President and founder of Owl Biomedical Inc., a startup that developed the world's first clinical sorter with applications in cell therapy and research. Owl Biomedical Inc. was founded in 2011 and acquired by Miltenyi Biotec in 2013. Their first product, The Nanosorter, uses a closed fluid path cartridge that allows for "plug and play" cell sorting and avoids issues associated with traditional cell sorters. At the heart of the cartridge is a patented silicon microchip capable of extraordinarily high-frequency fluidic valving.
