Building in biotech

Will Blair's Profile Picture

Hey, I'm Will. I grew up in Toronto, Canada, and have been passionate about science and engineering from a young age. From ages 6-8, I spent a lot of time in a hospital environment and around close friends affected by illness. I strive to do well by them and myself as a young patient.

I have spent my life working across biomedical engineering (handheld flourscence devices, hydrogel therapies, thermoelectric generators), research (infectious disease, neurodegenerative disease, genetics), and entrepreneurship (medical device, clinical trials, food systems, science education).

I care about:

  • Curing disease through accelerated biotech innovation.
  • Ensuring equal opportunity to all students to excel in STEM.
