WORK HISTORY
Chief Executive Officer @Fentagone
The mission of FentaGone is to reduce the amount of fentanyl-related overdoses occurring on the street level. The basis of our product is a fentanyl-detecting technology embedded in a syringe to test for the presence of fentanyl contamination within substances in order to prevent accidental overdoses. We are currently working with two University of Alberta research labs to conduct clinical research on our prototype. We are working in collaboration with two laboratories to run research trials on the FentaGone innovation hoping to operate as a viable solution to better address street-level drug testing to prevent opioid overdoses.Received: World\'s Challenge Challenge, Global Education program at the University of Alberta Telus Innovation Challenge League of Innovators Batch 6; Upgrader University of Calgary
