Since April 2011, I have been a happy LIFEtooler and support our team in particular in the development and coordination of successful inter/national research and development projects. I took over the management of the research area in January 2022. I am responsible for putting together the consortia, submitting R&D project proposals and carrying out project controlling and reporting. I was able to build up the necessary skills at my last employer, among others. Among other things, I was responsible for the coordination of the "Life Science Initiative Upper Austria" - an initiative of the Upper Austrian government - and supported the Upper Austrian business and research landscape in the area of technology funding.
