STAFF SPOTLIGHT

Welcome to Olivia Schneider-Stricker,

Commercial Business Development Manager

Olivia Scheider-Stricker joined the Diapharma as our new Commercial Business Development Manager this spring. As the newest addition to our team, she is here to make expanding Diapharma’s product offerings a top priority in 2020.

As VLV Bio’s products (M30® Apoptosense® and M65 EpiDeath®) have gained popularity with liver disease and oncology research, Diapharma sees the need for other biomarkers to offer our customers in these fields. Olivia’s main role is to stay in-tune with the latest research in these markets and expand Diapharma’s menu to cover the ever evolving needs of our customers. As a PhD scientist by training, Olivia is a perfect fit for this role as she has a strong technical background and hard bench skills stretching from immunology to cell signaling assays. She also has experience with fast-paced biotech world, as she spent the first 10 years of her career working for a start-up manufacturer in the recombinant protein market, focusing on the stem cell market.

Welcome aboard Olivia!
