July 16th 2024 - From the archives, our guest this week is Michael May, President and CEO of the Centre for Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine. Michael is someone I've had the pleasure of meeting on a number of occasions and he's one of those people you just know you're going to like. He's focused, incredibly generous with his time, and one of the true national leaders in Canada's life sciences community. Michael's story is similar to many of the guests we've had on our show in that it's not a linear path nor was it planned. You'll hear that his success is based on hard work, being open to opportunity when it presents itself, and sometimes learning life lessons from family pets.

April 23rd 2024 - We have been focused on the NGBI Summit which takes place on November 12th so this week we are posting an encore episode of one of our most popular interviews with Gordon McCauley President and CEO adMare BioInnovations.

The goal of AdMare Bioinnovations is to be a national catalyst for growing these hubs and the community at large.
