Advisory Team
Colin Macaulay, Ph.D.
15+ years of experience in biotechnology entrepreneurial environment. A Ph.D. in biochemistry and industry experience in developing novel protein therapeutics, including manufacturing and formulation, nonclinical pharmacology and safety studies, along with clinical & regulatory development programs.
Dr. Macaulay is Life Sciences entrepreneur in residence with TechAlliance (Regional Innovation Centre, Ontario Network of Entrepreneurs, London, ON, Canada). He helps entrepreneurs translate their new technologies into businesses by guiding them through the many common issues that befall new entrepreneurs in areas such as intellectual property, technology transfer, and business strategy.
John Wilkins, Ph.D.
Dr. Wilkins is founding director of the Manitoba Centre for Proteomics and Systems Biology and is a professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Manitoba. He received Ph.D. in Immunology from the University of Manitoba.
30+ years of experience in biomedical proteomics and immunology research. His goal is to see a wider uptake and integration of proteomic and mass-spectrometry methods in basic and biomedical research. His basic research focus is on the development of tools for assessing protein functional activity status with emphasis on the regulation of leukocyte movement.
Co-recipient of the NSERC Brockhouse Prize for Interdisciplinary Research in Science and Engineering for Biomolecular Mass Spectrometry.
