(Stuttgart) – On 1 December 2023, Rahel Bleis joined the BioRegio STERN Management GmbH team in Stuttgart in the role of Technology Transfer Manager. The 26-year-old obtained a bachelor’s degree in Molecular Biology at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz before studying for a Master of Science in Technical Biology at the University of Stuttgart. She wrote her master’s thesis as part of her academic work at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA in Stuttgart.

This background naturally makes Bleis an ideal addition to the successful economic development company – based in the STERN BioRegion – which, amongst other things, intensively promotes cooperation between automation technology and life sciences. Accepting the post with her new employer was clearly a very easy decision: “There’s a huge, vibrant network of scientists and entrepreneurs here. I’m very much looking forward to working with the team to seek out company founders, drive innovations and support start-up ideas.”
