Technology Transfer Management
Rahel Bleis, M.Sc.

"I completed my Bachelor's degree in Molecular Biology at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz. In my Bachelor's thesis, I dealt with topics from molecular developmental genetics. For my subsequent Master of Science in Technical Biology, I moved to the University of Stuttgart. Parallel to my Master's degree, I gained my first professional experience at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation (IPA), where I worked on the development of equipment for a new cell isolation method. After my master's thesis in this working group, I joined BioRegio STERN as a technology transfer manager in December 2023. Here I support the transfer of ideas and help as a contact person for questions in the field of life sciences. I would also like to improve networking between companies from different areas and supervise the Science2Start ideas competition."
