Renaissance BioScience Corp teams with Mitacs on C$1.44 million non-GMO yeast R&D project

In Canada, Renaissance BioScience Corp. announced a new partnership with Mitacs for a multi-year, C$1.44-million research and development project. Mitacs, a national not-for-profit research and training organization, will provide matching funding to the RBSC project to support the development of next-generation, systematic tools and methods for expanding, screening and selecting biodiversity in non-GMO industrial yeast strains.

In addition to the work done directly by RBSC, the project will be facilitated by collaboration with three world-leading University of British Columbia (UBC) researchers in the fields of yeast genetics and biochemistry.
