IRVINE, CA--(Marketwired - May 19, 2016) - Proove Biosciences, Inc. -- the world's largest Healthcare Decision Company™ -- is pleased to announce that CEO and founder Brian Meshkin has advanced as a finalist for the EY Entrepreneur of The Year® 2016 Orange County Region after being named a semifinalist in April. The recognition follows Meshkin's recent Excellence in Entrepreneurship Award from the Orange County Business Journal.
"It is truly an honor to be among a select group of men and women who are making life-changing contributions to society not only within Orange County, but also throughout the world," says Meshkin, whose company is the commercial and educational leader in the research, investigation and development of patent-protected genetic tests that enable physicians to personalize -- and optimize -- medicine selection and dosing in order to improve outcomes for patients, providers, and insurers alike.
Now celebrating its 30th year, the EY awards program recognizes entrepreneurs in over 145 cities and 60 countries who demonstrate excellence and extraordinary success in such areas as innovation, financial performance, and personal commitment to their businesses and communities. Winners will be announced on Friday, June 17 at a formal awards gala at St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort in Dana Point, Calif., where more than 500 founders, CEOs, and other business leaders will gather.
"This comes at an important time as the opioid and prescription drug epidemic has taken center stage in the national conversation," Meshkin adds. "With proven genetic testing-based solutions and technologies that enable accurate and evidence-based medical decisions rather than trial-and-error approaches, Proove is on a mission to help reduce the risk of treatment failure, decrease costs to insurers, and relieve society of the emotional and financial burdens associated with addiction and other adverse reactions to treatment."
