Discover the Need, Design the Future, Deliver the Solution.Patrick has nearly a decade of R&D involvement, spanning various industries. Notably, he specialized in the development of cell-based biosensor technologies that used machine learning principles to predict the cytotoxicity of chemically diverse samples; and developed biomaterial immobilization techniques (e.g., electrospinning ‘alternatives’) with the goal of enhancing the shelf-life stability of bioassays during his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at McMaster University. During his time at McMaster University he also contributed to the design and commissioning of face mask testing equipment, leading to the establishment of the Centre of Excellence in Protective Equipment and Materials (CEPEM), securing $1.2 million from the Ontario Together Fund. Furthermore, his expertise extends to the development of specialty chemicals and nanomaterials in the printing industry (Xerox Research Centre of Canada) and the mining sector (Vale). After his PhD studies, Patrick co-founded Emmoni, a biotech/labtech company that specializes in creating simple-to-use innovative laboratory hardware (patent pending MWellGX & PAVA96 products) to improve the storage and transport of critical materials including reagents and biologics. With help from The Forge by McMaster University, Innovation Factory, Haltech Innovation Centres, today Emmoni manufactures its products locally in Burlington, Ontario.
