It was wonderful to be able to talk about the @OpenPlastic project with Minister @JillDunlop1. We look forward to an opportunity to host her @Queens @Network_CEC @queensuResearch !
Yesterday Minister @JillDunlop1 stopped by our offices to discuss Ontario’s thriving #genomics ecosystem. @ardrabio's CEO gave a first-hand look at their innovative Ontario products & @queensu’s LSARP Team discussed genomics' potential to help the environment. #onpoli @debstark1

The project will identify and engineer bacteria and enzymes that can break down plastics into recyclable components or into valuable fine chemicals that can be used for other purposes, the university said.
