Few brothers are lucky enough to share a bond that’s truly, scientific! And now, the accomplished Cirrito Brothers, Tom and John, can share their talents in a research lab of their own for true collaboration. Their mutual business interests are taking shape through their roles with Varro Life Sciences. Varro is developing innovative technologies that prevent the transmission of infectious diseases and detect a variety of airborne threats in real-time.

“We have a biosensor platform that was invented by John that can detect pathogens in aerosols which are the tiny droplets that are released when we breathe or talk in the air,” said Tom Cirrito, PhD, CEO and Co-Founder of Varro Life Sciences.

The company’s bio-detection platform combines microbiology, aerosol engineering, and advanced electronics. Tom said Varro’s medical devices can rapidly detect airborne pathogens including the flu, COVID, and RSV. The company is using a nanobody-based electrochemical biosensor platform for rapid detection of aerosolized pathogens.
