Roger A. Hubbard, PhD

Roger A. Hubbard, PhD

Founder, President, Chief Executive Officer

Dr. Hubbard founded MPLN in 1989 after completing doctoral studies in biochemistry and molecular biology at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston and subsequent training in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Arizona Health Sciences Center in Tucson. He holds the academic rank of adjunct associate professor in the Department of Pathology at the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville and holds the High-complexity Clinical Laboratory Director certification from the American Board of Bioanalysis.

Dr. Hubbard is a laboratory inspector within the Laboratory Accreditation Program of the College of American Pathologists. Dr. Hubbard is a clinical scientist member of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists. He has written numerous publications in the areas of clinical flow cytometry, molecular immunology, infectious disease diagnostic testing and molecular oncology.
