Dr. Klaus-Michael Weltring

I am a molecular biologist by training with a PhD and a Habilitation degree from the University of Münster. Since 2001 I am the managing director of bioanalytik-muenster responsible for the development of the Münster region into a leading nanobioanalytic location at the European level. I set-up a local network of researchers from different disciplines and SMEs and organize the communication within the network and the outside. Between 2003 and 2008 I was the deputy-coordinator of the Nano2Life Network of Excellence and leader of the “ELSA” Board in this network. Furthermore, I co-managed the Nanomedicine Round Table and the EuroNanoBio projects (FP7 CSA projects) which analyzed the ELSA and economic environment and the infrastructure requirements for efficient development of Nanomedicine in Europe. For the last four years I have been a member of the Executive Board of the ETP Nanomedicine leading the ELSA advisory group of this platform.
