My role is to assist AUHA researchers in setting up collaborations with industry or creating a spin-off. Lieve obtained a PhD in Biotechnology. I have 15 years research experience both in academics and industry in fields ranging from microbiological genetics, mouse models, development of high throughput screening assays, and bio-economy.
