I studied in the pharmaceutical field and worked with both low molecular active ingredients as well as high molecular, biological ingredients, known as biologicals. Both my bachelor's degree in Canada and my master's degree in London dealt with conventional low molecular active ingredients. Through my master's degree at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg I have acquired much valuable knowledge and many skills in the field of biologicals. I founded my own company in Halle on the basis of this knowledge and the experience I have gained over the last ten years in the pharmaceutical industry.

The company focuses on the development of manufacturing processes for high molecular pharmaceutical substances. Hereby, we specialize in the production of microbial cells.
 Our range of services extends from cell line development to formulation.

What social impact do you see for your service?

Medicines are essential for a functioning medical supply, so there will always be a demand in this area. The field of pharmaceutical biotechnology is developing and gaining importance.
 Many pharmaceutical companies are therefore looking for research and development services to include new products in their product range and to enter or consolidate their position in the market for biotechnological active ingredients.
 We contribute to this development by providing both scientific and regulatory services.
