ARE Labs work depends on six role groups — aerosol scientists, bioaerosol and microbiology specialists, pharmaceutical and formulation staff, engineers and builders, QA and technical review, and inhalation toxicology staff — collaborating around a defined study question.

ARE Labs' management team is accountable for company direction, laboratory operations, and technical judgment across complex aerosol programs.
Founded ARE Labs in March 2009 and sets scientific direction across complex aerosol programs. His work anchors the company around practical aerosol science, custom study design, and careful interpretation of what a test can support.
Focus: Scientific direction, aerosol program design, complex study review
Leads the company and its R&D direction, with a particular focus on pharmaceutical aerosol work. His background across chemistry, biology, and medical training helps connect formulation questions, measurement limits, and client decision needs.
Focus: Company leadership, R&D, pharmaceutical aerosol programs
Oversees day-to-day laboratory operations and program execution. With more than 40 years in R&D and a chemical-engineering foundation, he keeps custom setups, laboratory resources, and delivery realities aligned with the study plan.
Focus: Laboratory operations, program execution, custom setup coordination
Role groups show how ARE Labs assembles the right technical mix for a study. They are not staff cards or departments to browse; they explain why one program may need aerosol science, microbiology, formulation, engineering, inhalation, and QA judgment in the same record.
Translate the client question into measurable aerosol, particle, plume, spray, or inhalation conditions.
Method fit, measurement strategy, aerosol generation, sizing, sampling, and interpretation.
Keep biological-aerosol studies controlled around organism handling, challenge design, and recovery.
BSL-2 practice, viable sampling, organism context, neutralization, controls, and recovery review.
Connect respiratory-device, formulation, chemistry, and in-vitro performance questions.
Dry-powder, nasal, inhalation, HPLC, stability, characterization, and method alignment.
Make the physical test system match the protocol when a stock setup cannot answer the question.
Custom fixtures, chambers, enclosures, device actuation, timing controls, and build-shop support.
Keep the final record traceable to the work actually performed and the claims the protocol supports.
Protocols, records, calibration traceability, deviations, data review, and report boundaries.
Support exposure-system work where chamber setup, flow paths, and in-vitro inhalation context matter.
Exposure chambers, ventilated mannequins, inhalation setup review, and study-specific controls.
Custom studies move through a practical sequence: scoping, assembling the right technical roles, documented execution, and final review.
Management and technical staff clarify the decision, samples, material constraints, target conditions, method options, and claim boundaries before the protocol is locked.
The right role groups assemble around the study: aerosol science, biology, formulation, engineering, QA, inhalation, or custom build support as needed.
Execution stays tied to the protocol through instrument records, setup notes, environmental context, controls, deviations, and raw-data capture.
Technical and QA review keep conclusions inside the evidence, so the final report supports the client decision without overstating what the study showed.
