Halifax-based biotech company Adaptiiv Medical Technologies continues to grow and is hiring a Quality Manager, a posting that headlines our Jobs of the Week column.
Adaptiiv, which raised $3.4 million in equity financing earlier this year, has developed a system that 3D prints a bolus – a piece of plastic that is placed over the cancerous area in a patient undergoing radiation therapy. The radiation hits the bolus, builds up and then is transferred into the tumour.
Hospitals using the Adaptiiv product buy a system that includes 3D printers with special filaments, so boluses customized to each patient can be printed within seconds.
