== Biography ==
Dr. Tanner was Principal Scientist with MDS SCIEX, the analytical technologies division of MDS Inc. In his 25 years at SCIEX, Dr. Tanner developed and helped to commercialize a string of Mass Spectrometry products. Scott published over 74 peer-reviewed scientific articles, and holds 22 US patents (with corresponding filings in other countries), including 13 patents on Mass Cytometry technology. 
Scott was a co-founder of DVS Sciences and, as the President and CEO, saw the company through the development and commercial launch of its first products. 
The products that DVS Sciences brought to the global market were originally developed at the University of Toronto where Dr. Tanner was a Professor in the Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering and then in Chemistry.
