ANANDA Devices, 2014 winner in the Innovation Driven Enterprise Track of the McGill Dobson Cup start-up competition. Ananda’s mission is to accelerate the transition of major scientific breakthroughs into new diagnostics and therapeutics. Drug development is based on cell culture models that have not changed over the last 100 years. We are taking cell culture models to the next level by applying micro and nanotechnology to develop microfluidic platforms to completely control the single cell microenvironment. Our patented lab-on-a-chip technology responds to the needs of the biomedical research and diagnostics market by increasing standardization, precision, and reproducibility of bioassays. Our microfluidic devices can fill multiple market niches with a sales potential of over $ 16 Billion dollars. Margaret Magdesian is CEO and Founder. She was previously an associate researcher at the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) and the McGill University Department of Physics. Seeing the opportunity to extend the use of the developed devices and techniques to other fields in medicine, in 2015 Margaret launched ANANDA to bring standardization, precision & reproducibility to cell assays.
