Angus was born and raised in the city of Richmond Hill, ON. He completed his B.Sc. in Biochemistry at the University of Waterloo under the supervision of Dr. John Honek, where he worked on the combinatorial synthesis of ADAMTS-4/5 inhibitors targeting the metalloproteinase domain. As a PhD student, his research focuses on the design and synthesis of ruthenium drug analogs to study their pharmacological effects by mass cytometry. Outside of the lab, Angus enjoys going to the gym, training for half marathons, snowboarding, building Lego and late-night gaming sessions with his friends.
