About Us

We Built the Laboratory We Always Wished Existed

US-Biosciences was founded by a team of molecular diagnostics professionals with over 45 years of combined industry experience, people who have spent their careers inside laboratories, in the field with providers, and at the intersection of clinical science and patient care. We started this company because we knew the industry could do better. And we knew exactly how.

Our Story

Built by Industry Veterans. Driven by a Commitment to Providers, Patients, and Precision.

The molecular diagnostics industry is not short on laboratories. What it has been short on is laboratories that operate with both clinical excellence and an uncompromising commitment to the provider relationship.

The founders of US-Biosciences have seen the inside of this industry from every angle, laboratory operations, clinical sales, compliance infrastructure, and diagnostics development. We have watched large national laboratories grow so focused on scale that they lost sight of service. We have seen providers frustrated with reports they cannot interpret, representatives who do not return calls, and compliance practices that put everyone at risk.

We founded US-Biosciences to be the answer to that frustration.

Our model is built on three non-negotiable principles: clinical accuracy, provider service, and compliance integrity. We invested in the most advanced sequencing technology available, the PacBio Vega™ HiFi platform, because our providers deserve results they can trust completely. We built a white glove service infrastructure because our providers deserve a partner, not a vendor. And we built our compliance platform first because everything else depends on it.

US-Biosciences is nationally operating and built to serve providers across every region of the country. We are not trying to be the biggest laboratory in the industry. We are trying to be the best one to work with, and we intend to earn that distinction every day.

Our Mission

To deliver precision molecular diagnostics with clinical excellence, white glove service, and an uncompromising commitment to compliance.

Empowering providers to make faster, more confident decisions for the patients who trust them.

What We Stand For

The Principles That Shape Every Provider Partnership

Built into our laboratory, our service model, and the way we support practices every day.

AC

Accuracy. Without Compromise.

We built our laboratory on the PacBio Vega™ HiFi long-read sequencing platform because accuracy is not a feature, it is the foundation. Every result that leaves our laboratory has been processed through rigorous quality controls and validated protocols. When a provider receives a US-Biosciences result, they can act on it with confidence.

SV

Service. As a Standard, Not a Differentiator.

White glove service should not be a premium offering. It should be the baseline. Every provider who partners with US-Biosciences receives dedicated account support, proactive communication, on-site staff training, and a representative who knows their practice by name. That is not exceptional. That is our standard.

CP

Compliance. Built In, Not Bolted On.

The laboratory industry has compliance shortcuts. We do not take them. Our compliance infrastructure was built into the foundation of US-Biosciences, not added later to satisfy an audit. Providers who work with us can be confident that their laboratory partner is operating with the highest standards of regulatory integrity.

FL

Flexibility. Because No Two Practices Are Identical.

The patients a podiatrist sees are not the same as the patients a psychiatrist sees. The workflow of a wound care center is not the workflow of a primary care group. US-Biosciences builds laboratory partnerships that flex to match your practice, not the other way around.

PT

Partnership. For the Long Term.

We are not in the business of acquiring accounts. We are in the business of building relationships. Every provider partnership at US-Biosciences is built with the intention of becoming a long-term clinical and operational relationship, one that grows as your practice grows and adapts as your needs evolve.

NP

Nationwide Reach. Personal Commitment.

We serve providers across the United States with the same level of responsiveness, reporting quality, operational support, and clinical care. Geography does not change our standards. It only expands the reach of our service.

Benjamin Ecker

Benjamin Ecker

Co-Founder & Managing Partner

Benjamin Ecker brings 26 years of medical sales leadership to his role as Co-Founder of US Biosciences. He began his career in pharmaceutical and specialty sales, where he spent a decade in leadership positions, earning multiple industry honors including President's Club recognition for top-tier performance. Ben then made a strategic pivot into the diagnostic laboratory space, drawn by a firsthand view of the gaps in patient lab services and a desire to solve them. Over the past 16 years, he has built a reputation as a trusted partner to physicians and their staff, combining deep clinical relationship-building with an insider's understanding of how labs, providers, and patients need to work together. Today, Ben applies that experience to advancing US Biosciences' mission: closing the gap between diagnostic innovation and patient care, ensuring physicians get faster, more accurate answers and patients get better outcomes.

Jeff Roma

Jeff Roma

Co-Founder & Managing Partner

Jeff Roma brings 18 years of healthcare and laboratory industry experience to his role as Co-Founder of US-Biosciences — and this is not his first time building a laboratory from the ground up. Prior to launching US-Biosciences, Jeff successfully co-founded and scaled a molecular diagnostics laboratory before executing a successful exit in 2021. That experience gave him a rare operational advantage: the ability to build a high-functioning clinical lab not as a theory, but as a proven process — from licensure and compliance infrastructure to physician outreach and full-scale operations. The foundation of that career was built at Quest Diagnostics, one of the nation's largest clinical laboratory organizations, where Jeff spent the core of his 18-year industry tenure. There he developed deep expertise in laboratory operations, diagnostic testing workflows, physician engagement, and regulatory compliance — gaining an inside view of what healthcare providers truly need from a laboratory partner: speed, accuracy, clinical relevance, and a team that speaks the language of medicine. Driven by a vision for more precise, more personalized diagnostics, Jeff co-founded US-Biosciences to bring next-generation molecular testing directly to physicians and their patients. Under his leadership, US-Biosciences operates exclusively on the PacBio Vega™ HiFi long-read sequencing platform — the most advanced clinical sequencing technology commercially available — delivering results with a level of accuracy and resolution that legacy laboratory methods simply cannot match. US-Biosciences was built from the ground up with a compliance-first philosophy. Jeff oversaw the development of the company's internal compliance framework, ensuring that every physician partnership, billing practice, and patient interaction meets the rigorous standards of the Anti-Kickback Statute, EKRA, Stark Law, and HIPAA — not as a checkbox, but as a core operating principle. Today, Jeff leads business development and strategic growth for US-Biosciences, partnering with physicians and healthcare providers nationwide to expand access to pharmacogenomics, cancer genomics, immunogenetics, neurocognitive genetics, and advanced pathogen diagnostics. His mission is straightforward: give physicians the tools to make smarter clinical decisions — and give patients the answers they deserve.
