Brian Wamhoff

Dr. Wamhoff co-invented the HemoShear technology and directed the successful development of human models of the vascular system, liver diseases and the tumor microenvironment. His efforts led to the launch of HemoShear’s proprietary drug discovery programs in rare metabolic diseases. Advancement of HemoShear’s REVEAL-TXTM platform has been achieved in part by Dr. Wamhoff’s role in securing significant NIH Small Business Innovation Research funding from five different NIH institutes. His passion and scientific vision have fueled the formation of productive partnerships with Takeda, Horizon and Carnot Biosciences. Dr. Wamhoff, former Associate Professor at the University of Virginia, has co-founded multiple medical device and therapeutics companies. He has authored or co-authored more than 70 papers and has been issued more than 10 patents. Dr. Wamhoff obtained a B.S. in biology with a minor in business administration from Rhodes College, where he was the 2011 Distinguished Alumnus; he received his Ph.D. in medical physiology from the University of Missouri.
