I am a passionate and experienced professional in scientific research, innovation and commercialization of early inventions. My favorite area is the cross talk between research and business, and via my work at the university technology transfer office, I have had the joy to see the full life cycle of research commercialization from invention disclosures all the way to deep-tech spinout companies and technology licensing. I have a PhD in biomedicine and have experience from the food industry as well as the pharma and health supplement business. I have conducted clinical research and published several scientific publications. I have experience in international collaboration, networks and projects both in scientific research and in business relationships. I am familiar with the whole innovation process from idea generation to evaluation, development, funding and finally commercialisation of product ideas. Besides the innovation and development knowledge, I also have know-how and experience in quality and regulatory affairs particularly in the pharma, medical device and food sectors.
