JP Wang

Aptitude Medical Systems, Inc. has appointed co-founder JP Wang as Co-Chief Executive Officer.

Wang will lead the company alongside co-founder and Co-CEO Scott Ferguson, formalizing the shared leadership already in place as the company expands both its Metrix molecular diagnostic platform and its commercial reach.

Wang co-founded Aptitude with Ferguson and Jackson Gong in 2011 and has since shaped its strategy, vision and culture while leading much of its work across technology, product development, manufacturing and operations. He most recently served as President and Chief Technology Officer.

Aptitude is moving from an organization historically centered on research and product development into a commercial diagnostics company with products in the market and a growing customer base.

Its Metrix platform is designed to bring laboratory-quality molecular testing into homes and point-of-care settings, and currently offers FDA-authorized molecular tests for COVID-19 and flu.
