Bio
Dr. Edward J. Harvey has a rich history of collaboration with basic, clinical and engineering scientists. He is a tenured Professor of Surgery at McGill University. He is the trauma research program leader at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) with over 60 investigators in his group. He is, or has been, editor-in-chief of the Canadian Journal of Surgery; editorial board member of the Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma and OTA International; chairman of the Research Committee and the Annual meeting program chair for the Orthopedic Trauma Association; chair of the Trauma Section at the Orthopaedic Research Society; and president of the Canadian Orthopaedic Association amongst other national and international positions.
Charles is passionate about using really small things to solve big problems. Being surrounded by many successful and supportive entrepreneurs, he quickly gained an ability to create teams and transform problems into solutions.
An example of his passion at work can be found during his undergraduate years at Queens University, where he helped build a microfluidic pump for an implantable therapeutic for glaucoma. This project helped ignite his entrepreneurial spirit, and, while pursuing his Masters in Bioelectrical Engineering at McGill University, he formed a team that combined engineering and technology to develop microsolutions. Some of those initial microsystems are the foundational components used by the three companies that Charles founded: MY01, Inc., Stathera, Inc., and NXTSENS Microsystems, Inc. These companies each have won several awards and been selected for important growth accelerators. They have grown to over 70 employees, and combined to raise over $50M in funding.
George Xereas is the Chief Technology Officer at MY01 Inc. In this role, he leads the company’s technology and product development. Prior to MY01 Inc., he served as the Chief Technology Officer for NXTSENS Microsystems Inc., a fabless MEMS based sensor company he co-founded. George obtained his PhD in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from McGill University in 2017, which was supported by the Les Vadasz Doctoral Fellowship in Engineering – Intel. George is an author in 19 high impact publications in MEMS sensors, and is an inventor in 14 utility patents.
Timeline
Pre-2015
Our Start
We started as a Master’s project at McGill University. Founders, Dr. Ed Harvey, Charles Allan and George Xereas, worked on developing a MEMS-based pressure sensor that acts as a reliable ACS diagnostic tool. As we continued development we realized that we could apply our knowledge to broader applications, tackling other healthcare challenges.
