He holds a degree in International Relations from Simon Fraser University and has been an adjunct professor in Canada, teaching international business, international trade finance and sustainability strategies.

Khosrow Kashfi PhD, MSc, FRSC, FRSB has a strong background in biochemistry. He did his undergraduate training in Chemistry at Kingston University in England, and has a Masters’ degree in Polymer Physics and Engineering from the Cranfield Institute of Technology in England. He received his PhD from the University of Tennessee – Health Science Center, and did his Postdoctoral training at Cornell University Medical College – New York Hospital.  Khosrow has held an Adjunct Faculty position at the Rockefeller University before joining the City University of New York School of Medicine in 1999 in the Department of Molecular, Cellular & Biomedical Sciences .

For the past 20+ years, Dr. Kashfi has been working on chemoprevention of cancer and their various chimeras. He is the inventor of a new class of pharmaceuticals, the NOSH platform, and holds several global patents. He has more than 100+ publications in peer-reviewed journals, and has co-edited a book on Cell Signaling and Molecular Targets in Cancer.

Dr. Khosrow Kashfi joins Creative Oxygen Labs as board advisor helping the company with product formulation as it relates to its impact on human health.

Dr. Paul Gottlieb is an associate medical professor at the City College of New York.

His research group is studying and characterizing bacteriophage f12, one of the newly identified members of the family Cystoviridae. These viruses contain a genome consisting of three segments of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). Their mechanism of RNA packaging, replication and transcription is similar to that of the Reoviridae. To date, the cystoviruses are the only segmented dsRNA viruses that can be manipulated by recombinant genetic techniques, making them an excellent model for the study of the molecular biology of viruses of this type.

The genes of the virus have been expressed from the cDNA copies of the genome in E. coli and the viral proteins are now being studied, in particular the viral RNA-directed RNA polymerase P2.

As a virologist Dr. Gottlieb is on the board of advisors at Creative Oxygen Labs helping the company with its formulation impact on airborne viruses and bacteria. He is a Ph.D. from the City University of New York, Hunter College.

Dr. Firouz Michael Naderi was the former Director for Solar System Exploration at NASA’s JPL where he spent more than 30 years in various technical and senior executive positions. While best known for his leadership of the Mars exploration program, where he was successfully responsible for the launch of Mars Odyssey, landing of the Mars Exploration Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, and the development of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter he contributed to some of the most iconic NASA robotic missions to various corners of the solar system. 

Dr. Naderi was a “Fellow” of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) and has been honored with the Technology Hall of Fame medal, NASA’s Outstanding Leadership Medal .  

Firouz served as a management consultant and strategic advisor to early-stage startups, and was frequently invited as a keynote & motivational speaker at conferences and workshops where he inspires the audience with wonders of space exploration and what it took to get there.

Dr Naderi passed away June 9th of 2023 but will always remain an honorary board member at Creative Oxygen Labs.
