MIKE LYNN, MD
CO-FOUNDER
Mike co-founded Hound Labs on a simple idea – that the novel combination of science and technology would be the foundation of a cannabis breathalyzer that balances workplace safety and employee privacy. With more than 25 years studying and practicing emergency medicine in the United States and in developing countries, Mike brings unique perspectives and practical approaches to solving some of the most challenging scientific and medical problems.
One of Mike's favorite responsibilities while working as a physician is the opportunity to teach residents. Mike's blogs help to educate and inform readers about some of the complexities and challenges that the Hound Labs R&D teams encountered as they developed an ultra-sensitive breath technology platform that is the core of the HOUND® CANNABIS BREATHALYZER.
