"I joined Confo Therapeutics as CSO in 2016. I previously was Director of Medicinal Chemistry at Galapagos from 2014 to 2016. I was one of the first chemists at Galapagos in 2005. I am the inventor of filgotinib and under my leadership, it was moved forward to pre-clinical development (today filgotinib has been launch in Europe and Japan). I also played a key role in a number of other projects and advanced several compounds into the preclinical phase.

I started my professional career as a Medicinal Chemist at Evotec in 2002. I then joined Faust Pharmaceuticals in 2004, today called Domain Therapeutics, a biotech company specializing in GPCR drug discovery. I am an inventor on more than 25 patent applications.

I completed a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry at the University of Manchester (UK) in Prof Jonathan Clayden’s lab."
