Danielle Counotte, PhD works as business developer at Utrecht Holdings and is responsible for knowledge transfer and business development in the areas of life science, healthcare and biotechnology.
She has a background in neuroscience, and brings experience doing research in the public and private sector before moving into technology transfer. She is passionate about creating an inclusive and diverse work environment, and one of her reasons to move into knowledge transfer was the key position of knowledge transfer offices in making the innovation ecosystem more inclusive and equitable. In her presentation, Danielle will announce the launch of the ASTP Equity, Diversity and Inclusion toolkit that was developed together with Anji Miller and Nessim Kickik.
