Alumni’s health care startup gets a boost from the prime minister
The team at health care startup Cobionix met Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during his visit to an Indigenous health initiative the company supports.
Co-founded in 2021 by Waterloo Engineering alumni Nima Zamani and Dr. Tim Lasswell (both BASc ‘14 and MASc ‘16, mechanical and mechatronics engineering) with John Van Leeuwen (BSc ‘81), Cobionix builds autonomous medical robots that can help make health care more accessible and is based out of Velocity in downtown Kitchener.
