Imagine...  medical devices that can diagnose serious diseases in just minutes. Imagine... replacing fossil fuels with a product made from fish waste. Imagine... using locally-grown food to prevent and treat illness. Imagine... the brightest minds pushing boundaries to make discoveries that improve every aspect of life. Imagine... some of the most dynamic companies in the world, marketing and exporting these innovations across the globe ... 

You've just Imagined Nova Scotia's life sciences community!

BioPort Atlantic has ended for another year. An array of speakers and panelists from around the world helped make this year’s program one of the best ever. BioNova would like to thank all of the partners that made this conference possible and those that attended that made it such a success.

One of the most anticipated presentations was that of Mr. G. Steven Burrill during Thursday’s keynote luncheon. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, and due to numerous requests we are making Mr. Burrill’s presentation available here. If you were unable to attend, or would simply like to review the presentation again, you may download it below.
