Gordon McCauley | AdMare Bioinnovations
April 23rd 2024 - We have been focused on the NGBI Summit which takes place on November 12th so this week we are posting an encore episode of one of our most popular interviews with Gordon McCauley President and CEO adMare BioInnovations.
We talk about how Gordon navigated from politics to investment banking to becoming one of the key leaders in the Canadian life sciences community. For decades, scaling start ups in Canada's life sciences sector have struggled for funding, facilities, and support. Most cities across Canada with universities that have strong faculties in medicine, business, science and engineering and direct relationships with a research Hospital have had nascent life sciences hubs. The goal of AdMare Bioinnovations is to be a national catalyst for growing these hubs and the community at large.
