Even in school, I was fascinated by the world of microorganisms. My mother still knows the reproductive cycle of a bacteriophage today. After graduating from high school, it was clear that this passion would remain. Nothing has changed to this day. An EU One Health Action Plan or the situation in hospitals with Antibiotic Stewardship shows the relevance of the topic. It is therefore a great pleasure for me as a product manager to be able to support interesting companies whose systems make an important contribution to faster and safer diagnostics.
