For Hannah McIver, the convergence of business, science, agriculture and animal health is as inevitable as it is natural. Raised on a farm in England, she studied biomedicine at the University of Guelph before she and her sister Alison founded, (and subsequently sold) Agribiotics, a company specializing in research and production of microbial products for agriculture. With MicroSintesis, Hannah’s strong sense of mission (the Toronto Star calls her a “serial entrepreneur”) is now focused on making MicroSintesis a leader in the science of proteobiotics.

As the founding scientist and Chief Scientific Officer for MicroSintesis, Dr. Griffiths leads the R&D team and sets the strategic research objectives for the company. He is highly active in the food science world, serving on the advisory board for many international food companies and as editor for a number of distinguished international journals.

Edouard Dufour strengthens our team through his passion for the MicroSintesis vision and his extensive strategic financial experience. He’s Senior Manager at Natixis Canada, in charge of developing Global Markets activities. Edouard spent 14 years in banking management, with two decades of capital market experience across a range of multi-national corporations. Before joining Natixis’ Americas Platform from its Paris Head Office, he served as Global Head of Structured Finance Hedging.

Dr. Heuser’s experience provides the MicroSintesis team with a solid background in livestock production, veterinary medicine, as well as in marketing and technical support in the animal health industry. Dr Heuser has managed the Canadian swine & poultry business unit for over 10 years.

Whitney’s background as a Registered Veterinary Technician, and subsequent career in pet care products and pharmaceuticals, in both sales and sales management, leaves her well qualified to provide a face and voice to MicroSintesis.

With more than 10 years of industrial research experience in Biotechnology, Encapsulation, Immunology, Flow cytometry, Confocal microscopy, pre-clinical models, cellular biology, molecular biology and microbiology, Dr. Labbé earned his PhD in Immunology at the University of Toronto. His passion for natural product chemistry stems from the idea that we can use biotechnology to harness nature for human and animal health.
