Work experience
After completing his studies, he started working at Leiden University Medical Center - Department of Human Genetics. There, he conducted research into hereditary forms of breast cancer, supported by the KFW fund.

Using the latest molecular biology techniques, they conducted fundamental research at the DNA, RNA, and protein levels. It was an educational period, during which he gained a great deal of innovative knowledge within Life Science Research.

He then made a career switch from the lab to the business world.
