The appointment was confirmed at ICBA’s annual meeting held in connection with BIO International in San Diego.

“I look forward to joining ICBA’s board and contributing to the development of biotechnology worldwide,” says Jessica Martinsson. “It is, of course, also positive for Swedish life science that we are represented in prominent international organizations. It gives us the opportunity to influence key issues, build international networks and strengthen Sweden’s position as a leading life science nation.”
