  • Brings decades of leadership in laboratory testing, clinical diagnostics, payor strategy, and sales growth
  • Extensive track record in commercializing advanced laboratory testing and insurer strategies

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Biomerica Inc. (NASDAQ: BMRA), a global provider of advanced diagnostic solutions, today announced the appointment of Gary Huff to its Board of Directors as an independent board member. Mr. Huff brings decades of leadership experience in the diagnostics and healthcare services industry, including serving as Chief Executive Officer of LabCorp Diagnostics, one of the world’s largest clinical laboratories.

Mr. Huff is a hands-on, inspirational, and growth-oriented executive who possesses a proven track record of successfully managing commercial laboratories of varying sizes, including large, medium, and small enterprises across both public and private equity sectors. Throughout his career, he has consistently achieved sustainable and profitable growth, outstanding financial performance, operational efficiencies, and transformational changes for some of the most influential organizations within the diagnostics field. The remarkable results he has delivered can be attributed to his unique strategic vision and extensive experience in the laboratory industry. In addition to his executive leadership positions, Mr. Huff currently operates his own advisory firm. He is also a member of the boards of Lighthouse Labs and Tribal Diagnostics. Moreover, he has provided advisory services to numerous health systems and a variety of global consulting and investment firms, including McKinsey & Company and Cerberus Capital Management.

“Gary’s exceptional track record of building successful diagnostics businesses, forging strategic partnerships, and delivering shareholder value will be invaluable as Biomerica continues to advance its innovative diagnostic portfolio,” said Zack Irani-Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of Biomerica. “We are excited to welcome him to our Board and look forward to his insights as we expand our market presence and pursue our mission of improving patient care and access to our innovative products.”

“I am honored to join Biomerica’s Board of Directors at such an exciting time in the company’s growth,” said Mr. Huff. “Biomerica’s innovative pipeline, particularly the inFoods® IBS product, has the potential to transform how patients and physicians manage the widespread condition of irritable bowel syndrome. I look forward to contributing to the Company’s strategic initiatives and working with the leadership team to drive sustainable growth and improved patient outcomes.”

About inFoods® IBS

inFoods® IBS is a diagnostic-guided therapy that identifies patient-specific food triggers responsible for symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. Using a simple finger-stick blood sample, the test enables physicians to recommend targeted dietary changes tailored to the patient’s immune response—offering a non-pharmaceutical, precision-based approach to symptom relief.

A multicenter, double-blinded sham-controlled trial on the inFoods® IBS test was published in the June 2025 issue of Gastroenterology, a peer-reviewed GI journal. As the study demonstrated statistically significant outcomes:

  • 59.6% of patients in the treatment group (who eliminated identified trigger foods) achieved the FDA’s endpoint for abdominal pain reduction, compared to 42.1% in the control group.
  • Among IBS-C patients, 67.1% of patients in the treatment group vs. 35.8% in the control group.
  • Among IBS-M patients, 66% of patients in the treatment group vs. 29.5% in the control group.

These results highlight the potential effectiveness of a personal elimination diet based on using inFoods® IBS in IBS-M patients, a subgroup historically underserved by existing treatments. The study was conducted at leading U.S. institutions including Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, University of Michigan, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
