By January 15, 2025February 13th, 2025No Comments

In the Chinese zodiac, 2025 will be the Year of the Snake. But at 21st.BIO, we’ll celebrate it as Year of Biomanufacturing.

And what better way to begin it than to welcome Niels Banke as Senior Director of Biomanufacturing.

Niels brings extensive experience in biomanufacturing, having worked for Novo Nordisk, Novozymes, and more recently serving as CSO for Glycom (dsm-firmenich). As an inspiring and highly accomplished leader and scientist in fermentation, we’re thrilled to have Niels leading our Fermentation and Pilot Plant teams.

As we advance our technology, we continue to upscale production to industrially relevant volumes. A bottleneck for many biotech companies, industrial production is a validation that our microbial strains deliver consistent, high-quality results – at scale. We are confident that Niels will contribute to this.

Welcome to the team, Niels! Here’s to a fantastic year ahead for the industry.
