Aaron Prevost

Aaron makes his way back to the University of Wisconsin-Madison after four years in the biotech and medical device industry. Aaron received his BS degree in bacteriology at UW-Madison and brought his interest in the life sciences to his first post-college job at Third Wave Technology. He worked in the manufacturing group, ensuring that molecular diagnostic kit components were produced to the strict quality standards set forth by the Food and Drug Administration’s cGMP regulations. From there, Aaron moved to Stratatech, a small regenerative medicine company specializing in the production of living skin equivalents. In his first six months at Stratatech, he worked to optimize the production of tissue culture media and transition its manufacturing to a contract manufacturing organization. Aaron then shifted to a role preparing Stratatech’s initial product StrataGraft^TM for clinical manufacturing. As the clinical manufacturing proceeded, Aaron worked at simplifying and reducing the cost of the StrataGraft^TM production process.
