SemBioSys Genetics Inc >>

Dr. Good obtained a Ph.D. in Genetics from the University of Ottawa in 1986 and worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the Plant Biotsechnology Institute/National Research Council labs in Saskatoon until 1989 when he accepted a faculty position in the Department of Genetics at the University of Alberta. His main research interests are in the genetics of crop improvement, specifically within the Brassica and safflower, and the molecular biology of stress tolerance and nutrient use efficiency in crop plants.
He was the founder and CSO of AgriGenomics Inc. and has worked with a number of different companies including Arcadia Biosciences, Pioneer HiBred, SemBioSys Genetics and Syngenta Biotechnology. His business interests include the efficient use of genetics and genomics for plant improvement and the development of effective strategies for improving and advancing the interactions between research scientists and product development teams.

Presentation Outline:

The presentation will focus on providing guidance to large and small biotechnology initiatives, both private companies and publicly funded organizations, on the effective use of genomics technologies and strategies. We will use, as an example, SemBioSys Genetics product pipeline and outline the different genomics technologies that we are developing to improve the efficiency of SemBioSys Genetics product development pipeline. Second, the presentation will discuss methods for evaluating the efficiency and value of specific genomics technologies as they relate to product development and production.
