Dr. Christopher Lyne PhD.
CTO
Dr. Lyne is co-founder and the Chief Technology Officer of Lancet Analytics LLC, where he leads the design and development of complex laboratory analytical instruments. A recent graduate of University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Lyne has extensive experience working with a variety of rocket technologies and a broad range of experimental methods. Dr. Lyne specialized in building custom scientific instruments for high-speed measurements and has published research papers on low cost TOF Mass Spectrometers for electrospray propulsion applications.
Dr. Thomas Nabhani MD, PhD.
Principal Scientist
Dr. Nabhani is co-founder and the lead on Lancet Analytics Proteomics and bioinformatics AI applications. Thomas has 25 years experience developing bioinformatics, biostatistics, and machine learning models for clinical medicine and basic biomedical research. He has developed predictive models for prostate and lung cancer as well as machine learning classifiers for protein structure prediction. At Johns Hopkins, he developed a web-based data science platform for oncology data. He has a MD/PhD (biophysics) and has done post-doctoral fellowships in tumor vaccine development and data science.
Facilities & Equipment
Lancet Analytics has access to workspace in a 28,000 sq.ft. mixed-use electronics innovation and manufacturing center in Hilliard, Ohio. The facility has all the required systems to support design, development, prototyping, light manufacturing, test and evaluation of high technology electro-mechanical systems.
Lancet partners with other Labs to access multiple commercial mass spectrometers (Triple Quadrupole, Quadrupole, and Time-of-Flight) to use them as test beds for our custom ion source development and product validation process.
Electronics Design
Co-founders have combined experience in the design of electronics systems from high-speed digital design using FPGAs to analog RF / Microwave systems with an emphasis on testing and validation.
PCB & Electronics Manufacture and Assembly
The facility includes an SMT line to manufacture and populate larger quantities of customized printed circuit boards (PCB). Including equipment for environmental testing and related electronics development for quality-controlled product builds.
Commercialization Partners
We are building a network of Mass Spectroscopy innovators who need low-cost analysis for their commercial products. The Lancet Analytics ion PSI-MS ion source opens a market for direct-to-consumer laboratory products such as products that have the potential to address a large commercial capability gap for a portable instrument with a lower cost of ownership.
