“With the recent advancements in cell biology, I was drawn to work with Nucleus Biologics because of its commitment to providing the high-quality sera needed today in research, academia, bioprocessing, and biotech organizations. Nucleus Biologics’ focus on sourcing FBS through exclusive agreements with suppliers in preferred countries of origin, is changing the paradigm for customers and allowing access to high quality, traceable serum at fixed prices and assured supply,” said Schroen. “I look forward to being a part of Nucleus Biologics’ continued growth.”
With FBS being a critical food for cells used in ground-breaking research and drug development, Nucleus Biologics offers a transparent, consistent, and proven supply chain that helps to eliminate variability and ensure highly-characterized, low-viral serum and more consistent scientific results.

“We are very excited to welcome Dan to our team. His experience as a scientist is invaluable in understanding the frustrations and unique needs of all of our customers- whether high volume bioprocessing or basic research. As we build our team we are adding members who embody our values and understand how innovation can happen even in mature markets like FBS,” said Nucleus Biologics Chief Executive Officer David Sheehan. “Dan will accelerate the early commercial success we are seeing with our first product and position us well for the launch of our Xeno free product.”
