Sukhvinder Singh Dhanjal Ph.D
Founder and CEO
Sukhvinder has neuroscience experience of nearly twenty years in academia including the Institute of Neurology, Institute of Ophthalmology and The National Institute for Medical Research where he developed an interest in improved techniques for in vitro tissue studies that included the spinal cord, retina and brain slices. This combined with electronic measuring and control systems honed his skills in hands-on design and development of various instruments in conjunction with the mechanical and electronic departments at the various institutes. With a growing appetite for design and development of instruments and apparatus for scientific research, Sukhvinder left academia in the UK in 2002 and moved to Canada to set up his own company which has now grown with worldwide distributors.
