BIO semester closing & alumni event


Event Description

 

Dear BIO students, BIO alumni, and friends of BIO,

We are delighted to invite you to our upcoming CBS BIO Summer Event 2025! Join us for an exciting evening with two distinguished guests. We will also take a moment to recognize the current cohort of BIO students who have just completed their master’s thesis defenses. It’s a wonderful opportunity to come together—reconnect with old friends, make new connections, and celebrate the BIO community.

Our first speaker, Hans T. Schambye, is a seasoned biotech entrepreneur with extensive experience in drug discovery and pharmaceutical business development. He is President and CEO of Galecto Inc., a part-time Venture Partner at Sunstone Life Science Ventures, and Chairman of the Danish Biotech Association (Dansk Biotek). Hans Schambye holds a MD and a PhD in Medical Sciences from the University of Copenhagen. In his talk, Hans Schambye will share insights on the key trends, opportunities, and challenges shaping the direction of the Danish life sciences industry.

Our second speaker, Dortea Engelund is the COO and Co-founder of Devote Consulting. She was part of the first graduating class of the CBS BIO program in 2014 and brings experience from both the startup scene and life science consulting. Dortea will share insights from her career journey: from the BIO program to co-founding and leading a growing consulting firm.

We look forward to seeing you there for a festive and inspiring afternoon!

Warm regards,

The BIO Alumni Team (Amadou Benavent, Anna Bonetto, Serine Jundiyeh, Ida Kløvgaard)
