Meet Safeology's Scientific Advisory Board

At Safeology™ we’ve assembled a leading group of specialists with scientific expertise to fight SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Our Scientific Advisory Board members have earned M.D. and Ph.D. degrees in microbiology, infectious diseases, and chemical engineering. They’ve held roles as researchers, professors, practitioners, and consultants. They’ve worked at Walter Reed, General Electric, and the U.S. Department of Energy. And their expertise has been sought out by countries around the world.

Our Scientific Advisory Board uses their education, experience, and expertise to guide the development of Safeology’s products and services. Working together, we’re harnessing the power of UVC light to create cleaner occupied spaces through the reduction and inactivate airborne SARS-CoV-21. Or as we like to say, helping humans breathe easy.
