Michael Bousamra II, MD
Chairman, Founder
Dr. Bousamra is a thoracic surgeon with twenty-four years of surgical experience, with a special interest in lung cancer. His research interests involve the detection of lung cancer by analysis of exhaled carbonyl compounds in breath and investigations of the in vivo metabolism of human tumors as related to host immune response and regenerative metabolism. To date, Dr. Bousamra has studied over 800 subjects by breath analysis. This work has been performed in close collaboration with a team of chemists, chemical engineers, immunologists and structural biologists. Over the past nine years he also has been a member of a team that studies the metabolic activity of lung tumors. This metabolomic study involved utilization of 13C-glucose, given to patients prior to surgical resection of the tumor and associated normal tissue. The results led to the discovery of unexpected metabolic perturbations, and potentially new molecular targets. Dr. Bousamra’s extensive metabolomic research led directly to his work in breath analysis of carbonyl cancer markers in the breath.
Dr. Bousamra is a co-Founder of Breath Diagnostics, Inc. and currently serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company.

Xiao-An (Sean) Fu, PhD
Director, Founder
Dr. Fu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Louisville. He has over 15 years of research experience in developing microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors, gas sensors, and SiC integrated circuits (IC) for harsh environment applications. Since 2008, he has focused on development of silicon microreactors fabricated by MEMS technology for analysis of trace volatile organic compounds in air and exhaled breath. He was the principal investigator for developing the microreactor technology funded by National Science Foundation and a co-investigator for using breath analysis for identification biomarkers of Tuberculosis in exhaled breath funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. He initiated and directed the project of breath analysis for identification of lung cancer markers in exhaled breath and using breath analysis for diagnosis of lung cancer at the James Graham Brown Cancer of the University Hospital at the University of Louisville. Dr. Fu collaborated with Dr. Michael H. Nantz to develop chemoselective microreactors for quantitative analysis of carbonyl VOCs in air and with two thoracic surgeons Drs. Bousamra and van Berkel to apply this technology to detect lung cancer. These collaborations have resulted in several high impact conference presentations and publications of breath analysis for diagnosis of lung cancer.
Dr. Fu is a co-Founder of Breath Diagnostics, Inc. and currently serves as a Director of the company.

Victor van Berkel, MD, PhD
Director, Founder
Dr. van Berkel serves as Surgical Director of Lung Transplant at Jewish Hospital, Louisville, KY. The majority of his clinical practice involves the treatment of lung cancer, and his recent research is focused on novel mechanisms for screening at-risk populations for lung cancer. He is capable of designing the clinical aspects of the breath analysis study, as well as critically assessing the OneBreath data.
Dr. van Berkel is a co-Founder of Breath Diagnostics, Inc. and currently serves as a Director of the company.
