Hi, my name is Rositsa Jordanova, I hold a PhD in Biochemistry and have over 20 years of experience as scientist and innovation manager. After finishing my education at Sofia University in Bulgaria I moved to Germany and established a successful career at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL). I continued my personal development towards project and program management and focused on innovation in the healthcare sector. I am currently representing the University Medical Center in Groningen, the Netherlands (UMCG) at the European Institute of Innovation and Technology Health network, the knowledge and innovation cluster in health (EIT Health). I also decided to embark on my own entrepreneurship adventure and started YRIDEA (est. 2019).
