Boris is an absolute pleasure to work with. He is prompt in his responses, as well as open and transparent in his communication. His assessments are well-thought-out and rooted in strong science.

Raymond Ip
Founder and CEO
We've had a long term, close knit relationship based on mutual business understanding and respect with Biorius prior to Boris' arrival there. That said, the value Boris has added to that relationship during his tenure so far there has been considerable. He has worked tirelessly to support our business needs and provide key insights in a timely manner to make informed business decisions. He's risen to the occasion of every challenge we've had for him, no matter what's brewing. Some inquiries, he has been able to distil down to a simple touch-base, single email exchange. For others, he's been with us for the long haul, and treated it with professionalism and priority through and through. He's been a contributing factor in our decision to work even more closely and continues to merit the highest recommendation.
