“Genomics is the language of life and to truly understand our impact on the natural world, we need to speak it”

Brandon Nichols
Sector Manager, Agrifood and Natural Resources
  • 604.675.1029

Brandon Nichols works with mining and energy companies to de-risk their research and development programs through shared funding and support. He believes that a collaborative approach amongst multidisciplinary groups is critical to maintaining an open perspective and fostering innovation.

Brandon has worked in research development for 15 years where he has lead academic and industry teams on mining, energy, climate change and ecological projects – focusing on team cohesion and project development.

Brandon holds a Master Degree in Applied Science in Mining Engineering from the University of British Columbia where he applied himself to projects in artisanal and small-scale mining, the reduction of mercury use in extract gold and the application of ceramic water filters in rural areas of developing countries. While pursuing his Masters, Brandon consulted to companies in the environmental and resource extraction sector in a variety of roles.
