As the chair and chief executive officer of Ondine Biomedical Inc., Carolyn Cross has spurred the company to become a global leader in the field of photodisinfection, a new technology that uses light to eradicate harmful micro-organisms. This innovative technology is being used to treat periodontal disease, infected wounds and burns, and HIV transmission from mother to fetus, without accelerating the risks of antibiotic resistance seen in traditional approaches.
