About Anthony

I help biotech, advanced-therapy and life-science organisations turn complex scientific markets into actionable partnership and programme decisions.

I am a Germany-based independent consultant and M.Sc. biochemist combining hands-on T-cell immunology with cell and gene therapy ecosystem research, cross-border business development and stakeholder programme design. My work includes engaging 100+ APAC advanced-therapy organisations and building founder, expert and partner pipelines spanning 25 countries and 41 cities.

Typical projects:
• CGT/ATMP market and competitor landscaping
• EU-China and APAC partner, KOL and stakeholder mapping
• Expert interviews and scientific-commercial synthesis
• Biotech startup ecosystem research and advisory programme design
• Research-driven business development and conference programme development

I work in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, with German at a basic level. I am best suited to defined research, mapping, strategy and partnership workstreams; I do not provide medical advice or claim hands-on CGT manufacturing ownership.
