Chemical engineering professors Leonardo Simon and Raymond Legge are part of a new cross-university team of scientists formed to help Canadian companies bring their innovative bioproducts to market faster. The Ontario Biomaterials A-Team, led by Guelph-based Ontario Agri-Food Technologies, is made up of 10 members with complementary skills from seven Ontario universities. Known as the A-Team, its mandate is to bring together the skilled people, sophisticated equipment, speed of service and confidentiality companies require to fine-rune and test new products before they're brought to market.
