Ali’s ultimate vision is to implement an automated cleaning technology device in every lab across the globe to safely clean and sanitize all of the used plastic consumables from each lab’s daily operation and return them back to the lab for reuse over and over again without any compromise on quality and performance. For these efforts\, Ali was named one of the Top Healthcare Innovators of 2019 by Healthcare Technology magazine\, Top Innovator by Silicon Valley Magazine\, and Top 10 Best Successful CEOs of 2020 by the Industry Era publication.
