New BioSource VP to Focus on Immunology

BioSource International in Camarillo has hired a new vice president, who will be responsible for the company’s immunology product lines.

Kevin J. Reagan, PhD, will join the company early next month, BioSource officials said. For the past five years, Reagan has worked for Specialty Laboratories of Santa Monica, most recently as vice president of laboratory operations.

BioSource also announced that Dr. Thomas J. Moss has agreed to serve on the company’s scientific advisory board.

Moss joins the panel while retaining his position as vice president of clinical affairs for BIS Laboratories in Reseda. An associate professor in the department of pediatrics at the USC School of Medicine, Moss has conducted extensive research in hematology and oncology, publishing more than 40 papers, book chapters and articles.

“BioSource has made a commitment to continue building our core product lines while expanding into new markets for biomedical research and, ultimately, clinical diagnostic products,” said James H. Chamberlain, the firm’s chairman, president and CEO. “The addition of a seasoned executive like Kevin Reagan greatly strengthens our scientific operations in key areas. Concurrently, Dr. Moss will contribute an important combination of research and clinical lab expertise.”

BioSource produces immunological reagents and test kits used in biomedical research.
