SAN DIEGO, Nov. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Epic Sciences, Inc. ("Epic" or "Epic Sciences"), a privately held diagnostics company, announces the appointment of William J.

As we plan to scale the organization, I am especially pleased to announce an expansion of our executive team in a manner that ensures continuity of leadership and positions Epic for substantial growth. Joel will continue to lead Epic's legal, licensing and compliance affairs and will ensure a seamless transition as Bill assumes the CFO role.
