Biography

Pepijn Beekman, MSc
ecsens - CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER 

As a true UTwente alumnus (BSc Advanced Technology and MSc Nanotechnology) I spent my PhD developing sensing platforms for small biomarkers, mostly focused on cancer. Not too long ago, we invented a nano-bio-sensing mechanism that could detect these tiny objects in our bodies, one by one. We started a small company so that we could further develop this technology for all of society to benefit from. When we were stuck at home this year, we realized that our technology could just as well be used for rapid corona virus detection. For some people, this solution can not come soon enough. But we’re going all out to bring a product to the public as soon as possible!
