Orbis Biosciences is a startup that develops original controlled-release delivery systems for the pharmaceutical and consumer product industries.

Traditional techniques for making controlled-release solutions (for things like medications, vitamins, flavoring agents and pest-control products) create non-uniform particles that can lead to variable delivery; Orbis' technology creates microspheres of an exact uniform size, allowing for highly precise release rates and dosage control.

Under Maria's direction, Orbis partners with companies to utilize the technology. She draws upon business development experience at Cerner Corporation and technical experience as an engineer.

Maria earned a BS in Civil Engineering from Kansas State University, MS in Environmental Engineering from Stanford University, and MBA from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
