Gary Kitos, Ph.D., H.C.L.D., C.C. (Syracuse
University, Biophysics) clinical immunology career spans
more than 30 years, which began in an FDA approved
allergy extract pharmaceutical company. He has
developed specific IgE and specific IgG4 assays and
integrated these tests into the reference laboratory
environment. Dr. Kitos owned and operated Allergy
Testing Laboratory, one of the nation's largest allergy
in-vitro laboratories. His unique background in allergy
extracts and formulation coupled with his clinical
immunology background has formed the basis for his test
strategy approaches in the field of allergy. Over the
years he has designed and developed several allergy
laboratory information systems (LIS) and was the first to
offer interpretative allergy patient reports. Dr. Kitos is
the Medical Laboratory Director and is board certified as
a High Complexity Laboratory Director by the ABB.
