About

Dr. Priefer joined MCPHS in 2019, bringing experience from both industry and academia. He previously worked at Starks Associate and Neurochem Inc. and held faculty positions at Western New England University and Niagara University. Over his career, he has mentored more than 50 students, including graduates at the master’s and PhD levels.

His research spans medicinal, analytical, educational, and materials chemistry. A key achievement was introducing a new class of polyelectrolytes into multilayering (pseudo-polyelectrolytes), leading to the launch of two spin-off companies—Breath Health and New England Breath Technologies—which developed a breathalyzer for screening and monitoring diabetes, with potential applications in cancer, lactose intolerance, and marijuana detection. More recently, he has filed patents for novel Alzheimer’s and cancer therapies.
