Life Science Consult to enter into its next Development Phase

17 June 2010, Strasbourg, France − Life Science Consult has founded a Scientific Advisory Board of experienced professionals to support the company’s activities in the biotechnology industry. The board will monitor conditions and events regarding the global business and financial environments as they relate to the biotechnology industry and keep the company abreast of issues related to biotechnology education, academic research, and the labor market for scientists and technicians throughout the world. The board members are also able to assist the company through their contacts with business leaders and political policy makers in a range of countries. The first member of the new Scientific Advisory Board is Professor Doctor Elton McGoun, William H. Dunkak Chair of Finance at Bucknell University in Pennsylvania and visiting member of the Economics Faculty of the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia.

Earlier this year Life Science Consult, a Munich- and Frankfurt- based consultancy specializing in the Central European Life Sciences industry, added Dr. Roland Toder and Ms. Joanne Crowe to their team of partners. Dr. Toder was CEO of Vivendy Therapeutics Ltd, co-founder and CEO of Axicos AG (both in Switzerland), and CSO of Germany-based GeneScan Europe AG (Eurofins). He is now President of AKALPA LifeScienceConsulting Ltd., New Zealand, focusing on the Pacific Rim region. Ms. Crowe spent many years with Qiagen in Los Angeles and Dusseldorf marketing research reagents and systems, and was most recently Marketing Director at MorphoSys AG.

With a team of highly skilled and experienced professionals based in Munich and Frankfurt in Germany, Oxford UK, the Pacific Rim, and now Pennsylvania USA, Life Science Consult is very well positioned to further support its expanding client base to grow their Life Science businesses.

Life Science Consult was founded in 1999 by Dr. Juergen Bergmeyer, co-author of “Methods of Enzymatic Analysis” and a veteran executive with leading European pharmaceutical companies. Early on he saw the need for hands-on management advice to assist young companies in the field of what is called today Life Sciences. His mentorship in setting priorities, drafting business plans, organizing business processes, and acquiring personnel resources made him a sought after adviser to the many new entrepreneurs in the industry. In 2008 he turned over the leadership of his business to Dieter Lingelbach, MBA, who brought many years of experience at Roche Diagnostics and MorphoSys to the company.
