My journey as an immigrant has allowed me to embrace the best of both Eastern and Western cultures — combining the values of hard work, education honesty and compassion. Canada is a nation built by people from all walks of life, united by shared values of freedom, diversity, opportunity, and kindness. As a happy immigrant, I am thankful for the chance to build a home and contribute through science , innovation, and helping others live healthier lives.

John Murphy liked thisGreat ideas don’t just come from formal meetings—they often emerge in the informal moments where conversations flow more freely. That’s why organizations like API (Applied Pharmaceutical Innovation) play such a critical role in Alberta’s innovation ecosystem—creating the conditions for meaningful connections, collaboration, and growth across the life sciences sector. Appreciated the opportunity to engage in insightful conversations with MLAs from across Alberta and share perspectives on how we can continue advancing innovation in our province - not only for Nanostics Inc. but for other companies in the sector. If you're passionate about strengthening Alberta’s life sciences ecosystem, look out for the many industry events and help keep the conversation going.John Murphy liked thisThe team had a great time hosting MLA's from across Alberta this week; sharing the work that API is doing, from supporting company spinouts and commercialization to building resilient manufacturing capacity! Unfortunately we couldn't get everyone in a single picture as it was a drop-in event, but suffice it to say we had lots of fun and (almost) everyone tried on a lab coat at some point.

John Murphy reacted on thisJohn Murphy reacted on thisIncase you missed it, NanoTess signed a major deal this week. 14,000+ pharmacies across Canada. "Our goal with NanoTess was to create a product that could be used by a person as well as a healthcare system and reducing barriers to care has always been our highest priority as a company. Our partnership with embecta does exactly that, by making catalytic wound care accessible to every Canadian living with diabetes and every Canadian living with wound and skin concerns." - Megan Leslie We interviewed the power duo back in September of 24' Link to the full interview is here: https://lnkd.in/g7e2bUHz

John Murphy liked thisHonoured by this, and honestly a bit overwhelmed. Everything I’ve been able to contribute comes from standing beside great people — founders, investors, partners, and especially the team at Levven. Alberta’s innovation community has given me far more than I’ve given it. Thank you for the encouragement.John Murphy liked thisWe’re incredibly proud to share that James Keirstead has been honoured with the Venture Capital Association of Alberta (VCAA) Rod Charko Service Award. It's a recognition given to leaders who demonstrate exceptional commitment to strengthening Alberta’s innovation ecosystem. If you know James, this award won’t surprise you. He shows up. He contributes. He builds. Not for recognition, but because he genuinely believes Alberta can - and should - be a global hub for meaningful innovation. From championing founders, to advising early-stage teams, to advocating for scalable, made-in-Alberta technologies, James has spent years helping shape the environment that Levven and so many other companies depend on. And while the award celebrates his work in the broader ecosystem, we feel fortunate every day that he brings that same energy, curiosity, and purpose to Levven. We’re lucky to have him all to ourselves. Congratulations, James! Well-deserved and well-earned 🎉

Biomanufacturing Solutions Inc.
🔬 Ontario’s Biotech Growth is Hitting a Space Wall A vibrant life science ecosystem requires lab inventory for all company phases. Step-up and Scale-up companies — the very ventures driving innovation in life sciences — are facing the most acute shortage of wet lab space. These companies often need turnkey, compliant facilities within months of receiving investment. They can’t afford costly build-outs or delays, yet finding space with the right wraparound support — lab management, shared equipment, meeting rooms, networking, and business growth programs — is becoming a major challenge. Without immediate access to suitable facilities, biotech ventures risk slowing commercialization, missing market opportunities, or relocating outside Ontario entirely. At Biomanufacturing Solutions Inc., we help bridge the gap — ensuring your facility planning, regulatory readiness, and operational support are in place so you can scale with confidence. 🚀 Let’s build the infrastructure and support ecosystem our biotech innovators need to thrive. #Biomanufacturing #LifeSciences #Biotech #WetLabs #OntarioInnovation #Commercialization #ScaleUp #BiomanufacturingSolutions

🚀 Great to see Synakis among the newest companies joining BioCreate by Ontario Genomics! Synakis was one of the startups funded through BioHubNet’s EQUIP VentureLift Grant, which supported the work led by Jonathan Labriola at the University of Toronto to advance manufacturing processes and design controls for SNK-125, a novel biodegradable hydrogel biomaterial for the treatment of severe ocular conditions. It’s exciting to see ventures we’ve supported continue to grow and gain momentum. Congratulations to the Synakis team!
