About

My motto: "Everyone can search, but not everyone can find." It is a sport to find information where others are unable. Nothing makes me more energetic than being able to help, to get to know people and link them to other people to help them both with their goal. Most lab owners regularly search new renters and all startups and growing hightech companies search for new appropriate lab spaces. They both struggle to find eachother. This is where LabForRent comes in. LabForRent: where supply and demand for lab spaces meet. With more than 13 years of experience as a patent & scientific information professional, I am used to working in a rapidly changing environment with changing priorities. Setting priorities, managing multiple tasks simultaneously and delivering high-quality work within the set deadlines is therefore my responsibility. And with 10 years of experience in fermentation technology on lab and pilot scale and with a high sense of quality and safety (QESH), I know what is needed in a lab. Strengths: networking, searching, reliable, proactive, approachable, team player, result driven, dedicated, flexible, quick learner. Specialties: Research & Development, fermentation processes within pharma, enzymes, food and feed. E.coli fermentation, antibiotics, lab-scale and pilot plant (kosher and halal), Intellectual property within pharma, enzymes, food and feed. Extensive experience in Freedom to operate, infringement, opposition, validity and novelty searches. Big data analysis & Artificial intelligence.
