“I am a gynecologist by training and did a postdoc in reproductive endocrinology at the NIH — National Institutes of Health — in Bethesda a while ago, and I started practicing gynecology and infertility treatment in Louvain University Hospital in Brussels.
In the 1990s, I was recruited by Serono, the company that was leading in terms of drug development for infertility, based in Geneva. I joined as head of clinical development worldwide for its new infertility product. So I spent 10 years with Serono in Geneva and in Boston…
In 2005, I started a company based on providing innovative products for women’s health. I am focusing on women’s health because I know the conditions and have been treating these patients before becoming a drug developer.”
