Ep. 4 | In Vivo with Mingyang Sun on Biomanufacturing and Entrepreneurship

The following is a conversation with Mingyang Sun, a scientist, entrepreneur and former classmate of mine at York University. There, he completed a masters in molecular biology and then a masters of business administration at the UBC Sauder school of business. Ming has worn many hats during his career in the biotech industry, ascending the ladder from lab manager, to product developer, then vice president of a Cannabis startup and now CEO of Bioboost Synbio. His current ventures seek to develop plant-based sanitizers and pesticides for the agriculture industry. He’s also using synthetic biology to produce a variety of biosynthesized molecules via yeast fermentation. There are few biotechnologists that have seen the industry from so many perspectives in such a short period of time. His journey is inspiring and he has many lessons to share. So I’m excited to sit down with Ming to discuss the in’s and out’s of the industry, the hurdles and challenges of biomanufacturing as well as the exciting future that these technologies promise.
