CryoWrite has appointed Patrick Frederix to follow up co-founder Andreas Engel as the company’s new CEO. Andreas Engel will stay active at cryoWrite as chief scientific officer.
The cryoWrite AG is growing, more people are employed, and the first devices are delivered. This also means that new expertise is required. Besides his excellent knowledge of structural biologists’ needs, Patrick is experienced in instrument development, applications, and services and brings the required management background.
Patrick has worked as an application scientist at Nanosurf for the last thirteen years, leading this department over the last twelve years. In his new job, he is looking forward to joining the team to make the cryoWriter successful.
A technical solution is already in place. Now we need to show the EM community what we have to offer and how our solution can help to get excellent results faster – which is of interest in both, industry and academic research.
Patrick Frederix
We welcome our new CEO and wish him a good start.
