Stanley Lapidus

Stan is an inventor and entrepreneur who serves on a number of healthcare and medical technology boards. He’s been founding CEO of four medical diagnostics and tools companies. Two of them have been among the most successful diagnostics startups of all time: Cytyc Corp., which he founded in 1987, revolutionized early detection of cervical cancer through its development of the modern Pap test. EXACT Sciences, which he founded in 1995, pioneered non-invasive early detection of colorectal cancer through its Cologuard test.

Stan holds 37 patents, primarily in methods for early detection of cancer. He was elected as a Fellow of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering in 2014 for his work on the early detection of cancer.

Stan graduated from Cooper Union in New York City with a BS degree in electrical engineering.
