Chairman & CEO

Ted Karkus, CEO and Chairman of ProPhase Labs, drives the company’s diverse and synergistic businesses with his successful track record in biomedical and health companies. He transformed ID Biomedical’s strategy and valuation from $25 million to $1.4 billion sale to GlaxoSmithKline.  As CEO of ProPhase Labs, he restructured the go-to-market strategy for the flagship product Cold-EEZE, turned around and significantly grew revenues, ultimately selling it for $50 million to Mylan.

He pivoted into industry leading CLIA labs, and then further diversified by acquiring genomics leader Nebula Genomics.  Constantly innovating, Ted then created ProPhase BioPharma to deliver antivirals, cancer tests and therapeutic cancer compounds. The new acquisitions and legacy businesses work to drive synergistic growth with multi-billion-dollar potential.
