History

APP was founded in 2007 and incorporated in February 2008 by laboratory professionals, Edward Dooling and Thanasis Papaioanu, along with hospital executive, Martin Rash. Edward Dooling was formerly a senior executive with AmeriPath (now part of Quest Diagnostics) and DIANON Systems, Inc., (now part of LabCorp). Thanasis Papaioanu was formerly an investment banker with SunTrust Equitable (now SunTrust Robinson Humphrey) and FTN Financial (part of First Tennessee National Corporation), where he helped launch New York-based laboratory CBLPath, Inc.
