Currently, I am the Director of CEBioForum - the most important event in Central Europe connecting the world of biotechnology and business and managing director of The Association of Biotech Companies BioForum.

My fields of expertise are: molecular biology and technology transfer and entrepreneurship - which, taken together, help to build bridges between science and business. I believe that networking is the first step for cooperation that enables the creation of new solutions by creative minds that can accelerate the development of biotech companies.
