WHERE MICROFABRICATION MEETS LIFE SCIENCE

WHY WE STARTED eNUVIO

COMPANY HISTORY

From our own experience, we know how cumbersome, difficult, slow, and expensive life science research can be. And unfortunately, sometimes all this hard work does not translate to the human physiology. All this can ultimately slow down the understanding and treatment of human diseases and disorders – one of the main goals of life science research. We want to help!

That is why we started eNUVIO with one goal in mind: continuously expand and improve upon the scientific toolbox of life science researchers to help push the boundaries of knowledge.

Inspired by and in close collaboration with the global life science research community, we develop unique tools that help you perform experiments that are more precise and physiologically relevant, so your experiments can be more accurate and have higher predictability. Not just that, we purposefully design them so they save you valuable time, boost your experimental data output,  and require minimal technical expertise and lengthy training processes!

Let’s accelerate scientific discovery together!

eNUVIO's origin goes back to 2010 when our co-founders – Hugo McGuire, Mark Aurousseau and Elise Faure – then graduate students, first met for an interdisciplinary collaboration between two life science research labs in Montreal. Already back then, they dreamed of advancing research tools and methods and offering innovative solutions to researchers around the world.

Propelled by their shared vision, the three co-founded eNUVIO in 2016. eNUVIO’s journey took a significant leap forward when our startup was accepted into the Centech technology incubator in the same year. During this phase, our team focused on research and development, which was conducted in shared cleanroom and cell culture facilities across Montreal.

Fast forward to 2018, armed with refined technologies, secured IP, and successful initial financing, we built our own laboratory space from scratch, complete with a cleanroom and cell culture facilities.

Today we continue to innovate, expand our technologies and grow our team, right here from our Montreal headquarters.
