Mark McDonough is President and Chief Executive Officer of CombiMatrix Corporation. Mr. McDonough brings over 17 years of experience in diagnostic health care and life sciences to CombiMatrix. Led by his passion for patient care, he has spent his career growing early-stage and emerging cancer diagnostics, molecular diagnostics and commercial laboratory organizations. In August 2012, Mr. McDonough joined CombiMatrix as Chief Commercial Officer. His efforts to optimize the commercial aspects of CombiMatrix and his focus on prenatal testing had an immediate impact on the company’s long-term strategy and financial success.

He also served in an executive capacity at Dianon and Laboratory Corporation of America — post-acquisition.

Prior to US LABS, Mr. McDonough was with EMC Corporation and Ventana Medical Systems. Before joining the health care industry, Mr. McDonough was a ranking officer in the United States Navy for six years, where he served as Navigator of the USS Fletcher — DD 992.
