My team and I unlock the full potential of HR data @ BioNTech to inform people related business decisions. This encompasses the entire analytics value chain, from Data Management & Governance to Data Usage (reports, dashboards) and Analytics Insights (statistical inference, machine learning).

I hold a PhD in mechanical engineering from TU Darmstadt, Germany. Since 2020, I have been teaching courses on applied machine learning techniques at the Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen using case studies based on my experience in people analytics.

At BioNTech we understand that every cancer patient’s tumor is unique and therefore each patient’s treatment should be individualized. To pioneer the next generation of patient-specific immunotherapies, we have combined ground-breaking research with cutting-edge technologies to develop therapeutics for cancer and beyond. Our broad and synergistic suite of platforms, which include mRNA therapeutics, engineered cell therapies, antibodies and small molecule immunomodulators have been optimized for distinct modes of action, high precision targeting, high potency and efficacy. We are also developing in parallel our own state-of-the-art manufacturing processes to complement our drug development platforms. We were founded in 2008 in Mainz, Germany and have been driven to become the leading global biotechnology company for individualized cancer medicine. We have over 20 product candidates in development, 8 candidates in 9 ongoing clinical trials, treated over 250 patients across 17 tumor types and supported by more than 1100 employees. As we prove the value of our approach in the clinic, we continue to build a network of world-class corporate and scientific collaborators, manufacturing and team required to bring individualized treatments to patients worldwide.
