In an increasingly competitive market for biomanufacturing talent, the Global Institute for Food Security (GIFS) at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) has attracted top science and business professionals to lead its expanding engineering biology technology platform.
GIFS is pleased to announce two new members who will lead the innovative engineering biology platform: Dr. Megha Bajaj (PhD) will lead the platform’s business unit, and Dr. Ben Scott (PhD) will build the science team and develop the platform’s technology capabilities.
Bajaj joins GIFS as the engineering biology business lead. She recently worked at Innovate Calgary, the technology transfer office and business incubator of the University of Calgary. She holds a PhD in cell and molecular biology from the University of Alberta and brings extensive experience building intellectual property strategies and the commercialization of new technologies.
“I look forward to contributing to the growth of this one-of-a-kind technology platform, and helping our clients rapidly scale the discovery, development and delivery of more nutritious and sustainable crops and food products,” said Bajaj.
