Founder and Director at EFEVRE TECH LTD who brought AMGEL laboratory automation from concept to market and deployed it at Cambridge.
CyprusWhat I'm looking for
At EFEVRE TECH LTD, I took AMGEL from concept to market release, then led its launch and lifecycle management. Its five product versions support different laboratory workflows, and AMGEL4TT was deployed at the University of Cambridge Department of Haematology.
I coordinated six Research and Innovation Foundation of Cyprus grants totaling over EUR 700,000. The projects produced marketable products, minimum viable product devices and a European patent in force in 26 countries.
I also coordinated the development of VITALE lab software and BioSkepsis, biomedical literature AI that checks results against more than 40 million publications. By September 2026, BioSkepsis had 3,888 sign-ups and 23 paying customers.
My work spans laboratory automation, life-science product development and European grant management. I’m available immediately as EFEVRE TECH LTD is now being sold, and I prefer remote work from Larnaca, Cyprus, with travel of up to 50%.
