McKEESPORT, Pa. — Wes Moschetto, a health care innovator, founder and executive leader, will deliver the commencement address during Penn State Greater Allegheny’s spring ceremony at 7 p.m. Friday, May 8, in Wunderley Gymnasium.
A Penn State alumnus with more than two decades of experience in health care innovation, Moschetto has built and scaled medical platforms designed to expand access to care, improve patient outcomes and modernize diagnostic services, particularly in underserved and resource-constrained regions.
His work has spanned anatomic pathology, molecular diagnostics, pharmacogenetics, digital pathology and applied artificial intelligence, contributing to advances in health care infrastructure in the United States and abroad.
Throughout his career, Moschetto has helped develop and support more than 100 accredited laboratories worldwide. His efforts have focused on improving how care is delivered through new technologies, operational strategy and mentorship of emerging scientists and entrepreneurs.
In 2004, he founded iPathology, a CLIA-certified laboratory that supports millions of patients while improving testing accuracy and turnaround times for patients, clinicians and care teams.
Moschetto also has worked to make complex genetic information more accessible and actionable. By helping develop platforms that translate genetic data into clearer insights, he has supported earlier detection of health risks and more personalized approaches to care, particularly in areas such as hereditary cancer risk and pharmacogenetics.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Moschetto contributed to public health and continuity efforts by designing rapid serology testing workflows, deploying mobile testing units across the country and collaborating with health care systems, government agencies and private organizations.
His work included roles in the development of the state of Florida’s COVID-19 response plan, the design of the NBA’s COVID-19 bubble in Orlando, and safety protocols for multiple NCAA athletic conferences.
He also continues to advance new technologies in digital pathology, including work on a patented, artificial intelligence-driven, virtual staining platform designed to improve efficiency, expand access to testing methods and reduce reliance on hazardous chemicals.
In addition to his professional accomplishments, Moschetto is committed to service and community impact. He and his family support organizations focused on health, education and opportunity, and he volunteers with Make-A-Wish, Shriners, the Special Olympics Dream Ride Experience and Toys for Tots. He also mentors young entrepreneurs and serves on advisory boards and professional organizations.
Moschetto attended Penn State Greater Allegheny before completing his degree at University Park in 1999. He remains closely connected to the University as a member of the Penn State Greater Allegheny Biobehavioral Health Program Advisory Board.
Moschetto will return to the campus where his Penn State journey began to celebrate this milestone with the graduating class and share lessons from a career centered on innovation, service and expanding opportunity.
