Description

Sporometrics was founded in 1993 by James Scott, a graduate student in mycology at the University of Toronto under the supervision of Prof. David Malloch and Prof. Neil Straus. During Prof. Malloch’s absence on sabbatical in Belgium, James received several requests from commercial and government organizations to analyze fungal contaminants in environmental samples. Despite kind explanations that Prof. Malloch’s laboratory was an academic research group that did not carry out commercial projects, samples began to show up.

Sporometrics was incorporated in 1996 (principally as a means to comply with the financial terms of James’s NSERC doctoral scholarship). By this time, several other of Prof. Malloch’s mycology graduate students had been pulled into the fray, notably Brenda Koster and Simona Margaritescu. As James neared the completion of his PhD, Sporometrics was further joined by Michael Warnock and David Clark.
