Congratulations to the 2022 Canadian Award Winner
Odd Bres
Tech Transfer Manager
University of Manitoba
Odd’s love of science began when he was a child and received a chemistry set. He pursued that interest in science, earning a degree in biological science from the University of Alberta, and receiving a PhD in comparative physiology from the University of Manitoba, followed by work at UC, Berkeley and UCLA as an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow. Odd left academia to establish a biotechnology startup company in genetic analysis services. He then returned to the University of Manitoba to work biotechnology intellectual property and technology commercialization where he helped others who share his passion for science move their discoveries into the marketplace to improve lives and make the world a better place.
