Prior to PharmaVentures, Vanessa worked at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) as a scientist and co-Principal Investigator for a translational drug development project. She also brings experience in mentoring early-stage healthcare spin-off projects with business accelerators such as MassChallenge and Bench2biz, for aspiring entrepreneurs in science and technology. Vanessa holds a BSc in Biotechnology from the University of Pavia in Italy, an MSc in Pharmaceutical Biotechnology from the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in Germany, and a PhD in Chemical Biology with a focus on peptide drug discovery from EPFL in Switzerland.
