former Teva R&D VP, Dr. Paul Dorinsky. Paul joins Aerocrine as
medical director, North America.
Paul is board certified in pulmonary and critical care medicine.
He spent 15 years on faculty at The Ohio State University College
of Medicine before joining the industry in 1997. Most recently, Dr.
Dorinsky served as vice president, global respiratory R&D, at
Teva Pharmaceuticals. He has also worked at Boehringer Ingelheim

Based in the U.S., Dr. Dorinsky will have the responsibility of

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that
affects more than 300 million people worldwide, many of whom are
children. FeNO is a marker of the underlying airway inflammation
associated with asthma, and Aerocrine has developed a method to
quickly measure this inflammation. Using NIOX MINO®, a simple,
quantitative and cost-effective test, physicians can obtain
information about the patient’s airway inflammation within two
minutes.
