My work involves the management of discovery projects and leading the technical part of stage-gate development projects. In various projects I collaborated closely with biochemical analysis and genomics experts for purification and identification of novel antimicrobial compounds from bacteria. Furthermore I created MSc research projects and was the industrial supervisor for students doing an industrial Master's degree.
