Happy first birthday, Proxima!

Proxima is open for business on Thayer Avenue.

This month Proxima Research & Development is celebrating our first year in business.  Over the past year we have fully furnished and equipped our office and laboratory space at 2404 Thayer Avenue in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan – allowing us to officially launch our full suite of services.  We’ve grown and diversified our team and are set to launch our internal research and development program this summer. Finally, we’ve chosen this important milestone to officially launch our website.

The Proxima team thanks our friends, supporters, advisers, and families for supporting us during this first year. We are most thankful though, to our valued customers; as a start-up we cannot overstate how grateful we are to those early clients who entrusted us with their projects. This first year would not have been the success it was, without you!

So, whether you’ve known about us for a while or this is your first introduction to Proxima, let us tell you what we’re all about: with over 34 years of combined experience, Proxima brings an evolved and inviting approach to the contract research and scientific services space with a focus on applied biotechnology, targeting the market for small to medium size projects. Through our values (people, collaboration, integrity, accessibility, and inclusion), we provide perfectly executed, well-supported, small-scale contract research and scientific services for academic and industrial clients in Canada and internationally.

Proxima can help you in four different ways: vector services, protein services, genetic and bioinformatic services, and finally, analytical and consulting services. We encourage you to browse the menu and consider us for your next project.

We have a number of exciting research and development projects in the works and will continue to post regularly on our blog, Good Science, where we will offer our tips and tricks for success at the bench. Subscribe to our newsletter so you don’t miss out on the exciting announcements we have planned for our second year.

Thank you for your continued support,

Zach, Iain, & the Proxima team
