CHICAGO (GenomeWeb) - With the recent hirings of three new executives, Prognos, a company that applies artificial intelligence to clinical diagnostics and laboratory testing, is eying what it called a "rapid growth stage."

Two weeks ago, the firm, which is based in New York, said that it had hired Lisa Kerber as chief operating officer, Stephen Silvestro as chief commercial officer, and Fernando Schwartz as chief data scientist. Schwartz, in particular, has some big plans for the company.
