Expertise
Nele Kindt is central valorisation manager life sciences, focusing on pharmaceuticals and biotechnology projects. I am the liaison between researchers from the Antwerp University Association (AUHA) and the business community and I want to translate the fundamental research performed by our groups into relevant projects for society. I do this by helping to set up collaborations with industry, negotiating contracts or creating a spin-off. I obtained a PhD in biomedical sciences at KULeuven, and after my PhD, I started working in biotech companies. I have been working first as a scientist, specialising in in vivo translational models and later on in more senior roles, also as CEO of a start-up company. In that role, I acquired hands on expertise in the different aspects and challenges of managing a young biotech company.
IOF Valorisation Life Sciences
Abstract
Multiple AUHA research groups are working together with private partners in the domain of life sciences. Some of them are integrated in IOF-consortia and supported by a dedicated IOF fellow. The professors within the faculties Pharmaceutical, Biomedical and Veterinary Sciences and Medicine and Health Sciences, which are not embedded in the IOF consortia but have a high need for dedicated valorization support, will be supported by this IOF-fellow. Those projects are mainly in the field of biomarker research, biological tools, exploitation of analytical methods, in vitro and in vivo models, medical devices, E-health and rehabilitation sciences.Researcher(s)
