In conversation with Matthew Pillar on the Business of Biotech podcast, our CEO Koenraad Wiedhaup elaborates on Leyden Labs' story. They look back at when Koenraad, together with Jaap Goudsmit, Ronald Brus and Dinko Valerio founded the company.
Matt and Koenraad also touch on Koenraad's unique, yet very relevant background for biotech start-ups. While many CEOs transition from a scientific career to a biotech start-up, Koenraad builds on extensive business experience from his career at McKinsey, working with many pharmaceutical and biotech clients.
The podcast also looks ahead at the positioning and use cases for Leyden Labs products. Koenraad explains how vaccines focus on specific viruses, yet Leyden Labs' nasal sprays intend to protect against entire virus families at once.
