👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicolas Stifani is a scientist-turned-founder with nine years of experience bridging advanced microscopy, neuroscience research, and operational innovation. As Co-Founder & President of Instrumentalys and Microscopy Platform Coordinator at the Centre d'innovation biomédicale, he designs practical, circular-economy solutions that repurpose underused scientific equipment to boost lab productivity and financial efficiency. His background includes multiple postdoctoral projects in neurobiology and neuro-oncology, where he developed strong technical skills in imaging, electrophysiology, large-data analysis, and R programming. Nicolas excels at turning complex experimental systems into measurable operational outcomes, comfortable moving from hands-on lab protocols to high-level strategy and stakeholder collaboration. Based in Montreal, he combines entrepreneurial drive with rigorous scientific training (PhD, McGill) and a knack for assembling expert teams to execute ambitious visions. Curious by nature, he applies the same experimental mindset to systems design—testing assumptions and iterating toward scalable solutions.
