A company co-founded by a double graduate of Waterloo Engineering is helping scientists around the world make important discoveries faster.
Nicoya Lifesciences was launched in 2012 after Ryan Denomme (BASc ’10, nanotechnology engineering, MASc ’12, mechanical engineering) identified a need during his graduate work for tools to speed up research on human diseases and how to treat them.
Thirteen years later, the Kitchener-based academic spin-off has grown into a global provider of accessible instrumentation with almost 100 engineers, scientists, technicians and designers on its payroll.
“Nicoya’s product portfolio and platform provide researchers and drug developers with a suite of automated, high-throughput and integrated tools to characterize the three most critical aspects of biologics: stability, structure and function — all without relying on disparate technologies and datasets,” said Denomme, the CEO.
