Theralink Technologies, Inc. announced the appointment of Faith Zaslavsky as its new Chief Executive Officer. Ms. Zaslavsky, who has served as the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer since December 2022, will assume this role effective June 26, 2023, replacing Mick Ruxin, M.D., who will transition to Theralink's Chief Medical Officer. Ms. Zaslavsky has over 23 years of experience in the field of genomics and multiple commercialization successes to her credit. She has made significant contributions to the development of new genomic offerings and the application of genomics to clinical practice, ultimately making genomics more accessible to patients and healthcare providers while building corporate value. Amongst other successes, Ms. Zaslavsky has been instrumental in the commercialization of tests that detect mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes associated with increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer; provided oversight for tests used to detect mutations in genes associated with Lynch syndrome, a hereditary cancer syndrome; and
launched an oncology suite of solutions providing guidance in therapeutic decision making. Cumulatively, these tests inform thousands of physicians, and help treat or prevent countless cases of cancer. As Chief Executive Officer of Theralink, Ms. Zaslavsky will be tasked with leveraging her prior successes to spearhead commercialization of the Theralink(R) Reverse Phase Protein Array assays, a next generation of genomic technology used to guide personalized cancer therapeutics.
