Biocitech appoints new ceo
Jean-Francois Boussard becomes chief executive of French life science technology park on 1 April.
Boussard joins Biocitech after a biotechnology career in academia and industry. From 1994, after six years as patents, licensing and legal director in a financial holding company, he became an independent consultant in enterprise creation and technology transfer. In 1998, he founded and was ceo of Substrat, a consultancy specialising in enterprise creation and management, project management and technology transfer in the field of biotechnology.
Prior to Substrat, Boussard was a manager for pharmaceuticals and biotechnology at France's innovation agency, Anvar, from 1982-88. From 1979-82, he was a biologist at LERS Synthelabo after an earlier spell as a research scientist at the University of Metz.
"I am looking forward to putting my scientific, legal and financial know-how to use to continue the rapid development of the park," said Boussard.
Biocitech provides offices, laboratories and technical and scientific services.
