Background

About Gabor Pajor

I am a molecular biologist, with a PhD in Medical Sciences, having demonstrated extensive experience in both academia and industry. During early stages of my career I worked in the field of pharmaceutical and biomedical product management (to co-finance my studies and research); starting as a product-specialist, quickly reaching regional manager level. Despite success, I left industry upon earning my PhD to fully commit myself to science. Throughout the years my focus had mainly been on cancer cytogenetics, chromosome instability and automated microscopy, having done both routine diagnostic- and research activities in these fields (including mentoring) for over a decade. After a rich and fruitful postdoctoral period, including 3 years as a Marie Curie Fellow in Heidelberg, Germany (DKFZ, EMBL), I switched back to industry. This time, however, taking up a role that perfectly resembles the dual nature of my career and personality, i.e, my passion for science and my natural affinity for communication and project management. I now work for an internationally recognized German biotech company (MetaSystems Probes), which is amongst the market leaders in its field. As Head of Development I am responsible for design and development of FISH DNA probes (IVDR-Class C and RUO); managing product development from start to finish.
