Testimonials

Janko played a crucial role in helping us build our team in Berlin. With his dedication and experience, he ensured that everything ran smoothly and efficiently.

Later, we engaged his services again to support us in establishing our molecular biology laboratory. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to set up the lab quickly and effectively.

Beyond the laboratory setup, Janko also initiated and analyzed a study to determine the optimal reagent selection for our qRT-PCR laboratory, adding significant value to our operations.

I highly recommend working with Janko also on a personal dimension: his integrity, responsibility and honesty in an extremely high-pressure working environment are exceptional.

We greatly appreciate his contributions and look forward to working with him again in the future.

We are very pleased to have had Dr. Janko Brand as an independent consultant in our team. His extensive experience and strategic insights significantly accelerated the early development of Midge Medical.

At a later stage, we once again relied on Dr. Brand’s expertise to expand our test portfolio, benefiting greatly from his deep knowledge of infection biology.

His contributions have been invaluable, and we highly appreciate his support.

About Janko Brand:

Innovator, Leader and Problem-Solver in Biotechnology and Diagnostics

Hi, I’m Janko Brand. I’m passionate about turning cutting-edge science into practical solutions in biotechnology, diagnostics, and healthcare. Over the past decade, I’ve worn many hats—as a scientist, entrepreneur, business developer, and mentor—always driving innovation and making an impact.

Currently, I’m the Head of Business Development for Surface Chemistry at e-Proteins, where I develop advanced biotin-binding solutions that go beyond traditional streptavidin systems by identifying market opportunities and forging strategic partnerships.

In 2015, I founded DBP Consult, a consultancy that helps diagnostics, biotech, and pharmaceutical companies with business development, recruitment, and KOL engagement, all while mentoring professionals at every stage of their careers.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I co-founded Sapoto to implement tailored hygiene and testing solutions. I also managed Berlin’s COVID-19 test centers at 21Dx GmbH, leading a team of 250. My journey began at BioTeZ, where I advanced from Senior Scientist to Head of Business Development, handling projects ranging from companion diagnostics to clinical research. I also launched OneWorldDoctors.org, a telemedicine initiative connecting global experts with underserved regions.

My early research at the Max Delbrück Center, the Max Planck Institute for Infectious Diseases, and Freie Universität Berlin laid a solid foundation in surface chemistry, virology, and membrane protein dynamics—experiences that continue to guide my work at the intersection of science and business.

I thrive on connecting the dots between innovation and practical solutions, mentoring emerging talent, and transforming complex challenges into actionable strategies. I’m excited about the future of biotechnology and diagnostics and welcome opportunities for collaboration.

Best regards,
Dr. rer. nat. Janko Brand
