Christopher Bush/Catalyst Agri-Innovations Society
In our work we disassemble high volume, low value agricultural residual streams that many call "waste". From them we make Renewable Natural Gas, and use the revenue from that to further isolate the compounds that make up manure.

Bio: Catalyst Agri-Innovations Society started in 2009, with a mission, how to Power the World, Feed the People, Heal the Planet. In our work we disassemble high volume, low value agricultural residual streams that many call "waste". From them we make Renewable Natural Gas, and use the revenue from that to further isolate the compounds that make up manure. Through our partnership with Point 3 Biotech Corp, we supply the spec resources, for them to reassemble. Our immediate targets include gas fermentation, and methanol conversions through biological processes. We have a project underway with the Hallam Lab at UBC, funded by GenomeBC, to open a functional window into the microbial communities inside of a manure only digester.

We make strains of yeast that produce cannabinoids. The cannabinoids are a collection of over 100 different compounds, of which the two most popular are THC and CBD.

Bio: We make strains of yeast that produce cannabinoids. The cannabinoids are a collection of over 100 different compounds, of which the two most popular are THC and CBD. They present an immense market opportunity that is at an intersection of nutritional, pharmaceutical and recreational use products.
The industry is developing and growing rapidly as legislation and consumer perspective shifts, and as more research points towards the health benefits of cannabinoids. To make these, and the other variations of cannabinoids, we've built our platform that is adaptable, efficient and scalable because it is based on engineered yeast. We grow yeast in fermenters, feeding just sugar and water, over the course of few days, after which we extract and purify the end product.

Bio: Ranomics enables transformative discoveries using genomics. Ranomics has a high throughput functional genomics pipeline that empowers drug discovery and synthetic biology.
VariantFind™ is our flagship technology that drives our genomics pipeline. VariantFind™ by Ranomics enables transformative discoveries. Our Multisite Saturation Mutagenesis technology builds comprehensive variant libraries, helping our partners find meaningful variants in their research programs that will propel discovery and make better products. We are committed to providing top quality variant libraries at competitive costs with quick turn-around time.
Our VariantFind™ technology and functional genomics platform can also help pharmaceutical, biotech and genomic diagnostic companies identify actionable genetic variants. Unlike computational modeling, Ranomics’ platform systematically mutates and functionally characterizes each position on a gene in custom developed cell based assays.
Our studies can be applied towards understanding variant functionalities in the context of biological function, responsiveness or resistance behaviour to drugs/biologics and protein-protein binding interactions. By applying our functional genomics platform in mapping actionable variants, we provide partners with comprehensive knowledge to make better products and to provide better services.
