CURRICULUM VITAE
Resumé:
I have been part of the management team that developed BioInvent from a biotech start-up company to a research-based pharmaceutical company developing innovative antibody drugs to target diseases with unmet clinical need. Among my responsibilities have been to set up and manage contract research and contract manufacturing operations and to establish and develop the biopharmaci and manufacturing strategy for BioInvent’s proprietary drug products.
I have a Doctor of Science degree in Immunochemistry/Biochemistry from Lund University. My thesis work resulted in an analytical test that was commercialised in USA by Syntex Medical Diagnostica. Before joining BioInvent I developed the master program in Biotechnology at Lund Institute of Technology, held positions as assistant professor and research associate. My research focus was immunochemical methods and tools.
In parallel to my professional positions I have held several public assignments related to research, higher education and health care.
Attendance where new ideas develop is the thread running through my career.
