Carla Spina, Ph.D. Chem, has been involved in various projects including nanomaterials, crystallography, organic synthesis, and formulation. After graduating with a B.Sc. from the University of Calgary where she specialized in inorganic and analytical chemistry, she completed her Ph.D. at McGill University with Dr. D.S. Bohle, the Canadian Chair in Bioinorganic chemistry. The main topic of her thesis focused on colloidal zinc oxide nanomaterials and their bio-sensing and photocatalytic applications resulting in a communication and several publications in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, the Journal of Physical Chemistry, and Bioconjugates. Recognizing her interest in the commercial sector, in her last year of graduate studies, after being awarded a DAAD-Rise Pro scholarship she completed an industrial internship at BASF in Germany. During this internship she investigated the formulation and stabilization of non-aqueous solutions and foams for pharmaceutical and petroleum applications. Under a constrained timeline she was successful in emulsion theory and preparation, mentoring, and filing a record of invention. Returning to Canada, Dr. Spina directed her research efforts toward the biomedical technology field, working for Exciton Technologies Inc. in Edmonton Alberta. As Lead Research Scientist, she and her team successfully developed, tested and marketed a series of advanced silver antimicrobial wound care products. Currently her efforts are directed towards the growth and development of the R&D department at NutriAg Ltd. as Senior Research Scientist. With her innovative team, she is dedicated to the formulation and commercialization of fertilizers, bio-pesticides and environmentally responsible antimicrobial technologies towards food and agricultural applications.
