  • MaRS Innovation appoints president and CEO
  • A research commercialization leader from Israel, Dr. Raphael Hofstein, has been named president and CEO of the new MaRS Innovation initiative.
  • MI was created as a single, market-facing commercialization storefront for Toronto's university and health research institutions. Located in the MaRS Discovery District complex, with business development and administrative support from MaRS, MI will advance commercialization through industry partnerships, licensing and company creation. MaRS Innovation (MI) was founded in 2008 with $14.95 million in funding from the Government of Canada's Centres of Excellence for Commercialization and Research (CECR) Programme, matched by $10 million from the research partners. The MI partnership includes U of T, the 10 partner hospitals and health research institutes affiliated with the university, Ryerson University, the Ontario College of Art & Design, BioDisocovery Toronto, the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research and MaRS. Hofstein joins MaRS Innovation from his previous position as president and CEO of Hadasit Ltd., the technology transfer company of the Hadassah Medical Organization in Jerusalem.

  • "MaRS Innovation is a unique global initiative, and I must commend the institutional leaders in Toronto for pulling this innovation powerhouse together to strengthen commercialization output. In my experience, good science is the single most important ingredient for success in this business. Toronto is already known as one of the strongest science cities in the world, and it continues to grow. Leading MaRS Innovation is a wonderful opportunity to do something remarkable."
  • Dr. Tim McTiernan, assistant vice-president (research) and executive director of The Innovations Group (TIG), U of T's research commercialization operation, said Mars Innovation will provide significant benefits to U of T.
  • And he said that MI's role as a resource "is like putting a turbo charger on an engine. Having MI working with us and the other member organizations is a huge step in taking advantage of the enormous potential in the Toronto research community. Commercialization offices acting independently will not be able to manage in nearly as effective a manner as will be possible with the expertise of MaRS Innovation."

  • Manufacturers of human IVD technologies have been contributing their skills and knowledge more and more to the nonclinical and agricultural diagnostic markets.
  • To learn more about why IVD manufacturers are making the switch from human diagnostics and testing to agricultural and other nonclinical diagnostics, IVD Technology editor Richard Park spoke with Rocky Ganske, president and CEO of Axela Inc. (Toronto)

      Axela is a MaRS client.
  • Our technology allows us to work directly in a variety of sample types that are difficult for other technologies to detect pathogens in without some additional sample preparation. So that led to people who were doing BSE (mad cow)–type testing asking if we could do tests for protein directly in matrices like milk or brain homogenate, and people asking for testing in plant extracts and things like that because other technologies don’t have that capacity.

  • Axela sells to the $20-billion life sciences market with its current platform, focusing first on protein-research applications, and enabling and capturing applications for downstream personalized medicine and human diagnostics.
  • Because it’s an attractive market, you see large diagnostic companies like Bayer Animal Health move some of its testing platforms that it would use for diagnostics into animal Health testing

    MaRS Client, Axela, talks about moving from human protein testing into the agricultural markets -- the challenges and the opportunities.
