Role: Lead Scientist
Kinnos is a Brooklyn-based company founded by three Columbia alumni to protect healthcare workers and patients from infection. Their first product, Highlight, is an additive for disinfectants that colorizes surfaces to ensure full coverage and then fades in color in real-time to indicate when decontamination is done. Highlight is used by first responders and laboratories, has been field-tested in Liberia, Guinea, and Haiti for the Ebola and cholera outbreaks, and is being piloted by leading hospitals in the US. Kinnos has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, PBS News Hour, and Forbes 30 Under 30 in Healthcare.
