  • Acquisition of Nebula Genomics provides a leading position in Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS). It provides access to affordable and secure personalized genetic testing. WGS is a genetic testing technology that obtains comprehensive data on every gene and all of your chromosomes in your DNA. WGS can be used to examine your ancestry, health, diet, rare gene mutations and rare diseases.
  • ProPhase's goal is to integrate this comprehensive genomic testing into the Company's CLIA-certified labs. This would provide faster turnaround time of results and reduced pricing. Company also plans to leverage its distribution in over 40,000 food, drug and mass retail stores. Each of these initiatives could dramatically grow sales going forward.
  • ProPhase is planning further acquisitions to expand WGS capabilities and personalized, precision medicine solutions for both consumer and physician markets.
  • Nebula Genomics was the first company to bring the cost of sequencing a human genome below $300 (the cost of the first human genome was $3 billion) and subsequently became the largest direct-to-consumer Whole Genome Sequencing company.

Ted Karkus - Chairman & CEO

Mr. Karkus is the CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors of ProPhase Labs, Inc. As CEO, he directly manages and oversees corporate strategy, product development, sales and marketing, and R&D. Mr. Karkus has long focused his career on investing, management consulting, and managing emerging growth companies. He started his career on Wall Street working for a variety of investment banks. Mr. Karkus financed and advised ID Biomedical, a biotech/vaccine company, when it was valued at approximately $25 million and near bankruptcy. He successfully persuaded the board of directors into making difficult but necessary changes to management, including the replacement of the CEO, and helped to redirect their strategic focus. Seven years later, the company was sold to GlaxoSmithKline for more than $1.4 billion. While advising ID Biomedical, he began a similar decade-long engagement with ProPhase Labs. After years of declining revenues, increasing losses, and questionable management activities, the Company's direction was in dire need of change -and the shareholders' interests in need of protection. Mr. Karkus initiated a highly risky but successful proxy contest in 2009 that led to his position as CEO. After inheriting a severely declining brand portfolio, he restructured the go-to-market strategy for the flagship Cold-EEZE brand and grew revenues significantly. The net result: in 2017, ProPhase Labs sold the Cold-EEZE brand for $50 million to Mylan, a multibillion-dollar pharmaceutical company. Mr. Karkus graduated Tufts University with a BS in Psychology and Magna Cum Laude Honors in 1981 and Columbia University School of Business with an MBA in Finance and Beta Gamma Sigma Honors in 1984.
