About me
- I have a PhD from KI and have been working with education and project
management at the Unit for Bioentrepreneurship (UBE) since 2010. I am now the
Programme Director for the Masters Programme in Bioentrepreneurship which
means that I have the KI-overall responsibility for the ongoing work on the
programme, including responsibility for the quality and coordination of
programme courses. I am also the Assistant Director of Studies at the
department of LIME with a special responsibility for the international
programmes at the department.
Most of my time is devoted to different educational tasks. During my time at
the Unit for Bioentrepreneruship, I have been course director and lecturer
for several courses in the different international programmes at KI. I have
developed and led the course “Effective Advocacy for Boards and
Committees”, given for the first time in 2011, and acted as the study
director for the Drug Discovery and Development research school offered in
2014-2015.
I was the project manager for the internationalisation of the bachelor's
programme in Biomedicine and during 2015, the development of a new programme
syllabus for the same programme.
Research
- My research is part of the "Patients in the driver’s seat!" programme that
focuses on patient-driven innovations.
