Crossbeta gains new ceo and funding
Dutch biotech to advance technology in several therapeutic areas
Scheefhals has joined the biotech firm from Avantium, where he held several managerial positions, most recently as chief operating officer of the pharma business unit. Prior to Avantium, he held commercial positions at DSM Biologics, Analytico and NPBI, which is now part of Fresenius.
Scheefhals replaces Johan Renes, who steps down after being with the company from the start and for the past two years as part-time ceo.
Crossbeta has recently won funding of €2m, which will be used to advance the firm’s technology in several therapeutic areas and to establish a stronger position for co-development programmes and commercialisation partnerships.
