Since November 2024, Leyla Djanklich, MSc, has also been working at the business
development institution for the life sciences sector. As part of her role, she will be
supporting the ZIMT project AIM (Access for Innovation in Medical technology), which
is developing a new industry-in-clinic platform. “With the AIM project, we are
specifically bringing industry and hospitals together to drive forward the development
of innovative medical devices effectively and serve the current medical needs of
doctors and patients alike,” she explains. Djanklich, who has a bachelor’s degree in
biomedical sciences from the University of Reutlingen and a master’s in
interdisciplinary product development, is the perfect person for this role. She is
concentrating on the issue of how innovative products and medical devices can be
launched onto the market. During her time at the University of Reutlingen, this 29-
year-old’s studies included participation in life sciences projects focusing on topics
such as implant coatings and smart textiles. As part of her further training, she also
focused on quality management for medical devices, good clinical practice (GCP) and
good manufacturing practice (GMP). Since her student days, Djanklich has used and
appreciated the extensive range of information relating to contacts and topics at
BioRegio STERN Management GmbH, so she did not hesitate to apply for the project
manager vacancy advertised – a role that will enable her to contribute her expertise.
