He was also involved in the set-up of two start-up biotechnology companies, first at Kesios Therapeutics (oncology), and the at GammaDelta Therapeutics (cell and gene therapy in oncology), which was recently acquired by Takeda. He has lead research teams and programmes in the fields of immune-inflammation, oncology, and virology, both in small molecules and cell therapy, applied to early research and drug discovery and development.
