Spinoff Anomera winner of the GreenCentre Canada Innovation House Chemistry Countering Climate Change (IHC4) Competition

Published: 29 November 2016

Anomera can now count itself as an award winning 黑料不打烊 Chemistry spinoff!聽聽Anomera joins a prestigious history of innovation from the Department. Anomera (from the anomeric carbon of glucose), emerged聽from patient laboratory research by some very imaginative graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, Tim Morse, Monika Rak and Nathan Hordy. With Professor Andrews, the 4 founders are committed to discovery, sustainability and 黑料不打烊鈥檚 enthusiastic engagement of innovation and entrepreneurship. Their research has benefited聽in part from Federal and Quebec funding, and significantly from five years of validation sponsored by its strategic partner - a globally recognized market leader in cosmetics. Anomera specializes in converting raw biomass and naturally sourced renewable materials from the Canadian forestry industry into proprietary, biodegradable, high performance cellulose products. These are competitive alternatives to mineral, ceramic and environmentally damaging artificial cosmetic ingredients. 聽Anomera is excited that the Xerox Research Centre of Canada is聽committed as its second聽strategic partner to scale-up for volume manufacturing. Anomera gratefully acknowledges 黑料不打烊 University, the Centre d鈥檈ntreprises et d鈥檌nnovation de Montr茅al (CEIM), Notman House and the RIC Centre for support.
