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.
