Background

About Dylan Beesley

I am an experienced marketing and communications leader in cutting-edge scientific industries. I have expertise in navigating heavily regulated markets, focusing on key growth targets and partnerships to bring nascent products to new regions. Having previously managed a preclinical-stage drug development start-up, I have experience in communicating the need and importance for new avenues of research with a focus on actionable outcomes. I have a background in nanomaterials chemistry, and have developed a nanoparticle-based tailings remediation method through the University of Calgary. At Koonkie, I am working to build a sustainable base of high-value long-term clients who are interested in harnessing microbial solutions to optimize their operational outputs. As Koonkie looks to provide guidance around emerging capabilities to manage highly complex DNA based datasets, I am also focused on education and building evidence supporting the usage of this data in key applications. I have a B.Sc. in Chemistry (minor in nanotechnology) from the University of Calgary. I have experience with two nanomaterials research labs; developing a novel magnetic filtration method and characterizing liposomal drug-delivery systems.
