He first worked at the National Microbiology under the direction of Dr. John Kim, validating PCR protocols for their molecular algorithm. He then completed his honours thesis working with zebrafish where his interest in neuroscience began. Ian took that interest to adMare BioInnovations, working on a novel therapeutic for a neurodegenerative disease.

In his free time, Ian loves to look at himself in the mirror and climb fake rocks.
