About

Founder & Managing Director at Labiotech.eu. While I was studying biotechnology in Paris, I got frustrated by the lack of digital media available for the industry and decided to fix it! I launched Labiotech.eu in 2014 and grew it to the largest community for biotech professionals in Europe! Other than biotech news, I’m also a heavy reader of Sci-Fi and Fantasy.
