SafeWax at McGill University

Bringing Real-World Science to the Classroom at McGill University.

This week, Niv Ben-Arie gave a guest lecture to undergraduate students in the Introduction to Bioengineering course at McGill University’s Department of Bioengineering, sharing the story and science behind SafeWax.

Rather than focusing solely on successful outcomes, the online lecture offered students an authentic look at the research process, including early formulations, unexpected hurdles and the step-by-step iterations that ultimately led to SafeWax’s optimal coating composition. Niv also highlighted the crucial transition from laboratory discovery toward upscaling, practical application and commercialization.
