Presenters / Panellists
Prof. Dr. Marieke Klijn
Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands)
After an MSc in Biochemical Engineering and a PhD in protein analytics and machine learning, Marieke established a research group at Delft University of Technology in 2020, focusing on applying advanced analytics to understand, develop, and control bioprocesses. The group’s research spans microbial fermentation to ATMP production, with synergies in the application of in-line analytics, the development of technology to accelerate data-driven modelling, and work towards data-driven control strategies.
