Saul Griffith is a Co-Founder of Carecubes, a healthcare solutions company pioneering FDA-cleared mobile isolation units to eliminate infectious disease transmission in hospital settings. A MacArthur Genius Grant recipient and MIT-trained engineer, Saul brings decades of deep-tech invention and entrepreneurship to the mission of transforming infection control.
Saul earned his PhD from MIT in 2004 and went on to found over a dozen technology companies in Silicon Valley, including Otherlab, an independent R&D lab serving government agencies and Fortune 500 companies. He also founded Rewiring America, a nonprofit dedicated to electrification and decarbonization as a path to fighting climate change.
Saul has served as principal investigator on federally-funded projects for NASA, DARPA, ARPA-e, and the National Science Foundation, and is the author of three books on clean energy and electrification. His cross-disciplinary expertise in materials science, energy, and engineering uniquely positions him to drive hardware innovation in healthcare.
At Carecubes, Saul co-founded and co-developed the Carecube ISTARI, an FDA 510(k)-cleared negative-pressure isolation unit that was initially funded by DARPA and further supported by the CDC and ASPR. The product was built in close collaboration with infectious disease experts at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
Carecubes closed a $6.5 million Series A round backed by leaders from Oscar Health, Aetna, Cardinal Health, and Medtronic, and has seen its units deployed in 36 communities across 13 states and territories. Saul's prior ventures include Makani Power, acquired by Google, and Instructables.com, acquired by Autodesk.
