New Brunswick native Dr. Paul Santerre (BSc’83) is among the winners of the 2014 Manning Innovation Awards. He received the top honour of the $100,000 Ernest C. Manning Principal Award.

Santerre patented technology, trademarked Endexo™, that reduces the chance of blood clots forming on plastic surfaces, such as in cases of artificial heart transplants. The technology has the potential to save 50,000 lives per year.

Santerre is also working to make his technology available – and affordable – to everyone in need.
