Guelph, ON – January 20, 2016
Mirexus Biotechnologies Inc. (“Mirexus”), a client of GreenSky Capital Inc., recently made two critical announcements.
First, Trevor Jones, P. Eng. joined Mirexus as Vice President, Engineering. Trevor has executive experience in R&D, Engineering, Sales and Operations. “We have been looking for some time for a candidate to lead our efforts to finalize the development of our manufacturing process, leading to the construction of our first manufacturing plant in the near future” says Phil Whiting, President & CEO of Mirexus. “We needed someone with a breadth of business and technical skills to lead this from concept to reality while ensuring we continue to meet customer demand for our product in the meantime. Trevor has the right skills and background and we are thrilled that he decided to join Mirexus”.
Second, the National Resource Council Canada (NRC) announced a partnership with Glysantis Inc., a Mirexus subsidiary specializing in biomedical nanomaterial applications, to study how Glysantis’s proprietary material NanoGlysTM could be used as a vaccine adjuvant, drug delivery vehicle, and medical imaging agent. The first phase of testing will confirm the safety of NanoGlys™, as well as the nanoparticle’s ability to reach targeted biological sites and be cleared away thereafter. Future studies will explore if NanoGlys™ can successfully deliver chemotherapeutic agents directly to diseased cells or tissue, and confirm its therapeutic efficacy.
