About Terry

Terry’s educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Integrative Biology from the University of Colorado at Denver. During his academic years, he contributed to research funded by the American Cancer Society and co-authored two journal articles studying cell cycle using xenopus. He has further enhanced his expertise through various certifications, including coursework in Project Management and Six Sigma, as well as specialized knowledge in regulatory compliance and healthcare quality management.

Terry spent over a decade as a Laboratory Scientist at Terumo BCT, contributing to FDA submissions, equipment qualification, and verification/validation processes for medical devices. His work spanned across the development and commercialization of innovative medical technologies, ensuring compliance with FDA, GLP, and other regulatory frameworks. In collaboration with the DoD, Terry co-authored a paper regarding Freeze Dried Plasma and the need for improved access for blood transfusions in remote areas. Throughout his tenure, he collaborated across teams, bridging gaps between engineering, clinical, and quality assurance functions to deliver high-quality results.
