John-Christopher Boyer

Principal Scientist at Authentix

John-Christopher Boyer has a diverse work experience that spans over several years. John-Christopher started their career at Concordia University, where they pursued a Ph.D. in Chemistry from 2000 to 2006. John-Christopher then moved on to work as a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Victoria from 2007 to 2009. During this time, they focused on post-synthetic functionalization of photonic nanoparticles and developed methods to enhance their optical properties.

Following their work at the University of Victoria, Boyer joined Simon Fraser University as a Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research Postdoctoral Fellow from 2009 to 2012. John-Christopher'sresearch involved the synthesis and modification of drug delivery nanoparticles. John-Christopher successfully demonstrated the release of a small molecule from the surface of an upconverting nanoparticle using low-energy light.

In 2012, Boyer joined the University of Calgary as a Research Associate for a brief period from September to December. John-Christopher then started working at Authentix in 2013, initially as a Senior Chemist. Later, in December 2016, they were promoted to the role of Principal Scientist. Unfortunately, the specific end dates for their roles at Authentix are not provided.

Additionally, in 2015, Boyer worked at North Dallas Barbell as a USAW Club Coach, although the duration of this role is not specified.

Overall, Boyer has gained extensive experience in research, synthesis, modification, and characterization of nanoparticles for various applications, as well as leadership roles in the field of chemistry.

John-Christopher Boyer began their education journey in 1997 at Concordia University, where they pursued a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree in Honors Chemistry. John-Christopher successfully completed their undergraduate studies in the field and subsequently enrolled in the same institution for higher education. From the years 2000 to 2006, John-Christopher Boyer dedicated their time and efforts to earn a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Concordia University. Throughout their educational experiences, their commitment and passion for chemistry fostered a strong foundation in the field.
