Gerhild Zauner-Koudelka received her PhD in protein biochemistry before starting a postdoc in glycosylation analysis (both in Leiden, LU and LUMC respectively). After working for a Biotech company that developed mAB based vaccines against bacterial infections in Vienna, Austria, she joined former Imperial Innovations in London, UK. From there she moved for a few years into a faculty position at the College of Medicine in Doha, Qatar before returning to The Netherlands, where she is currently a Senior BD Manager at Luris. Gerhild loves bringing inventions from the bench to the bedside, either via out-licensing or by supporting start-up formations.
