  Lyn Yaffe, M.D. - Medical Director
CEO, EPR-Technologies, Inc.


Lyn Yaffe, CEO, EPR-Technologies, Inc., has been a strong participant in the research and development of techniques and concepts related to emergency preservation and resuscitation (EPR), as pioneered at the Safar Center of Resuscitation Research, University of Pittsburgh, School of Medicine, for the rapid induction of profound-to-ultra-profound hypothermia for potentially saving lives when cardiopulmonary resuscitation fails.
Lyn completed undergraduate education at the Johns Hopkins University, School of Arts and Sciences, majoring in biophysics, in 1968. He received his M.D. degree at the University of Maryland, School of Medicine, in 1972, and completed pathology and research post-graduate training at Columbia University, New York, NY, with additional molecular biology research experience at the Roche Institute of Molecular Biology, in 1978.

Lyn began military service in late 1978 as a Principal Investigator at the Naval Medical Research Institute, Bethesda, MD, and maintained involvement in Navy medical research and development activities over the next twenty years, spanning laboratory bench-level research work in casualty care through medical research program management and development experience, particularly in combat casualty care initiatives. During his Navy career, he worked at the Naval Medical Research Institute, the Naval Medical Research and Development Command, the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, and the Pentagon with frequent interactions with Marine Corps, Army, and Air Force medical research counterparts.

From 1995 through 1998, Lyn was Director of Research and Development at the Naval Medical Research and Development Command and Combat Casualty Care Research Area Manager. As Director of R&D, he had overall responsibility for an annual $120 million research budget to support both intramural Navy medical research laboratories and extramural/contract research programs. While Director of R&D, Lyn’s primary medical research and development interests included far forward echelons of emergency casualty care, emphasizing advanced medical technologies for life sustainment, as well as systems for triage, medical information management, telemedicine, and field medical command and control. These research programs involved both intramural Navy labs and civilian universities and biotechnology firms.

Lyn retired from the U.S. Navy Medical Corps in June, 1998, and has since been actively involved in research and development programs related to (1) patient/casualty monitoring strategies, (2) emergency hypothermia and rapid cooling techniques for point-of-injury care to induce profound-to-ultraprofound cooling, and (3) semi-automated to automated, rapid vessel access techniques for therapeutic hypothermia and a range of automated needle/catheter guidance and placement technologies, culminating in the recent formation of EPR-Technologies, Inc., dedicated to life-saving EPR techniques.

Lyn has over 50 scientific publications in the peer reviewed medical literature as well as several patents related to emergency medical techniques and devices.
