<\/a><\/a>Dr. Roth brings more than a decade of clinical, industry, and executive leadership to Purgo Scientific. A DVM graduate of the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine with Master\u2019s Degrees in Biochemistry and Business Administration, Dr. Roth has served in senior roles, including Chief Veterinary Officer of Digital Pet Health for Mars Veterinary Health, Lead Medical Advisor for KeraVet Bio, and Chief Medical Officer at Fuzzy. She co-developed the RACE-approved Virtual Care University and MyPetDoc, and is listed as an inventor on multiple U.S. patent applications for technologies that expand animal access to care. Beyond the clinic and boardroom, she is the author of two children\u2019s books championing STEM and veterinary medicine, as well as a textbook on Veterinary Virtual Care and Telemedicine.<\/p>
\u201cCherice is exactly the leader this company needs at this stage of our growth,\u201d says Mike Benjamin, Chairman of the Board of Purgo Scientific. \u201cShe has spent her entire career turning bold ideas into real-world solutions, and she has an extraordinary gift for seeing a gap in the industry, finding the answer, and delivering it. Her vision for accessible, high-quality care aligns perfectly with our mission to provide high-concentration, localized therapies. We could not be more excited to welcome her to the helm.\u201d<\/p>
Dr. Roth assumes leadership of a company with significant momentum. Purgo Scientific\u2019s flagship technology is a refillable, catheter-connected pouch designed to provide sustained, local delivery of therapeutic treatment where it\u2019s needed most. Delivered to the veterinary market through Vetlen, the Vetlen Pouch is already in clinical use in dogs, cats, horses, and other species, generating early revenue and real-world validation as the company advances toward first-in-human trials.<\/p>
\u201cPurgo Scientific is one of the most exciting platforms in animal health, and I could not be prouder to lead this team forward,\u201d says Dr. Roth. \u201cThe ability to provide sustained, targeted, and localized therapies that are easily modified has long eluded the tools veterinarians have on their shelves. Our technology changes that. I have always believed that every patient deserves the highest quality of care, and that great science should make its way from the lab into the exam room in the most practical way possible. That is exactly what we are going to deliver.\u201d<\/p>
\u201cI am delighted to welcome Dr. Cherice Roth as Chief Executive Officer of Purgo Scientific,\u201d says Dr. Stephanie Morley, DVM, President of Vetlen and a member of the Purgo Scientific Board of Directors. \u201cCherice brings an exceptional combination of veterinary expertise, business leadership, and a passion for innovation that aligns perfectly with our mission. As President of Vetlen, I look forward to partnering closely with her as we continue to expand our veterinary business while advancing Purgo Scientific's human health platform. Together, we are building an outstanding leadership team that is well-positioned to accelerate growth and bring this technology to more patients and veterinarians worldwide.\u201d<\/p>
\u201cI am excited to welcome Dr. Cherice Roth as Chief Executive Officer of Purgo Scientific,\u201d says Angy Guerrant, Chief Operations Officer of Purgo Scientific. \u201cDr. Roth brings a unique combination of veterinary clinical expertise, entrepreneurial leadership, and a deep understanding of the challenges veterinarians face every day. As we continue to expand the commercial reach of Vetlen, our animal health division, and advance Purgo's human health platform toward clinical development, her vision and experience will be invaluable in strengthening strategic partnerships, supporting customer adoption, and driving sustainable growth.
