Ingrid Marchal Gérez, PhD
Business development manager, Protéus
I hold a PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology, and I am fascinated by life sciences and their applications.
I joined the biotech industry immediately after graduating in 2001 and quickly moved from bench to business.
Since 2006 I have been in charge of business development and marketing for a biotech company, Protéus.
Protéus is expert in discovery, optimisation and production of proteins and in the development of protein-based products and processes. Protéus provides solutions to four main markets: healthcare, chemistry, environment and energy.
My role is to develop Protéus' activities in Northern Europe (UK, BeNeLux, Scandinavia).
