Alexander Bakharev

​​​​​​​​​​​​Mr. Bakharev is the creative inventor of many novel and unique high-tech solutions in several technical and scientific fields such as cryogenics, superconductivity, composite material, aerodynamics and thermodynamics. He holds more than a dozen worldwide patents and is the author of many published articles that are well recognized internationally. He graduated from one of the most prestigious Russian universities, Moscow Mendeleev, where he completed his graduate and post-graduate studies. In his early days he spent 17 years with Russia’s equivalent of NASA where he rose to the head of the cryogenic composite material department.  

Mr. Bakharev has been in the private business arena for the last 32 years where he played the roles of originator, founder and co-founder of several successful companies. Mr. Bakharev was the founder of the Russian Krionit Scientific Technical Enterprise. The company was involved in the development and manufacturing of different kinds of SQUID magnetometers, such as SQUID Microscopes, SQUID MagnetoEncephaloGraphs (MEG) and MagnetoCardioGraphy (MCG). Krionit had sold equipment to several US universities including Stony Brook University, US Naval Research Laboratory, IBM, LG Electronics, Samsung in Korea, customers in the UK, Germany and other companies around the globe. Mr. Bakharev was also the founder, President, Chairman of the Board and CTO of the CardioMag Imaging Inc., a company involved specifically in the commercialization of MCG systems. Under his leadership the company developed and commercialized up to the FDA approval a 9 Measuring Channels MCG system based on SQUID sensors which was successfully tested at several high rank US hospitals include the John Hopkins Medical Center, Mayo Clinic, Cedar Sinai Medical Center and at the Hoyerswerda Clinic in Germany. These MCG systems have also been in the commercial use in several cardiology clinics in China.  

Mr. Bakharev was recognized by the Wall Street Journal on September 11, 2006 as a recipient (first runner-up) of a Technical Innovations Award* in the area of Medical Devices.  

Based on his vast experience in MagnetoCardioGraphy, Mr. Bakharev developed the unique technology of Environmental Magnetic Noise Elimination system. In contrast to his previous developments in this area, this technology, allows MCG devices to perform in regular hospital’s emergency department environments in close proximity  to hospital elevators, all kinds of medical apparatus, moving metal beds, working printers, computers, etc. Base on this development and several other similar and unique innovations, Mr. Bakharev formed Mesuron Inc. in 2011 where he is currently playing a role of CEO and Chairmen of the Board. ​​​​​​​
