Roshan, a 2016 Langara College grad, is in a 6-month internship as a research lab assistant at Langara College. With a diploma in bioinformatics, he is putting his skills to work extracting nitrogen from waste water to minimize its environmental impact, and, in a separate project, is cultivating mealworms as a quality protein source for human consumption by feeding them discarded food from grocery stores.

“Roshan has taken on the challenges in his role with unique and creative problem-solving skills,” says Kelly Sveinson, Research Coordinator at Langara College. “Hiring one of our grads is giving us a sense of the high-quality work they are ready to and capable of achieving with the education we provided.”
