Empowering biotech and health-tech innovators to secure EU funding and accelerate market adoption through strategic proposal design, AI-driven evaluation, and translational insight
I help biotech and health-tech innovators secure EU funding and accelerate the path from research to market by combining scientific insight, proposal strategy, and AI-driven evaluation tools.
With over 14 years of experience bridging translational medicine, EU funding strategy, and business development, I bring a unique perspective that connects science, strategy, and impact. My work enables research teams, startups, and SMEs to craft competitive, funder-aligned proposals that stand out to evaluators and investors alike.
I started my career as a Senior Scientist and Assistant Professor at Karolinska Institutet, where I led research on B-cell immunology, antibody validation, and autoimmune disease mechanisms. This experience gave me a deep understanding of how to translate complex biomedical discoveries into measurable outcomes — a skill I now apply to help organizations design and win Horizon Europe, EU4Health, EIC Pathfinder, and Eurostars proposals.
As an EU Funding & Innovation Strategy Consultant at MG Sustainable Engineering AB, I’ve coordinated multinational consortia in AI, diagnostics, and precision medicine. I specialize in aligning scientific innovation with policy and market priorities — ensuring proposals are not just scientifically sound, but also strategically positioned for impact and scalability.
I’ve also developed several AI-powered funding intelligence tools — including the GrantGenix AI Suite and Biotech Catalyst Tracker — that simulate evaluator scoring logic, benchmark impact sections, and identify compliance gaps. These tools have helped clients improve funding success rates by up to 35% and reduce preparation time by 20%.
My consulting approach integrates three key pillars:
Scientific credibility – grounded in immunology, molecular biology, and preclinical assay design.
Funding strategy – mapping, structuring, and aligning proposals with EU priorities.
Innovation intelligence – leveraging AI to analyze market, policy, and regulatory landscapes.
Services I provide:
EU funding intelligence and roadmap design
Full proposal writing and editing (Horizon Europe, EU4Health, EIC, Eurostars)
Consortium building and partner coordination
Impact and business plan writing
AI-driven proposal evaluation and compliance checking
Market and policy intelligence reports
Clients describe my work as structured, insightful, and reliable — balancing scientific depth with strategic clarity. I collaborate with biotech founders, research institutions, and innovation-driven SMEs across Europe to build proposals that don’t just compete, but lead.

Work Terms
I typically work with clients under a clear and structured consulting agreement, ensuring transparency from project initiation to delivery. Each engagement begins with a scope alignment call and a short written summary of agreed tasks, timelines, and deliverables.
Depending on the project type, I offer both fixed-price and hourly-based contracts, with milestones for larger assignments such as full Horizon Europe or EU4Health proposal development.
I am comfortable signing NDAs and maintaining strict confidentiality, particularly for proprietary research, unpublished data, or business-sensitive information.
🕒 Hours of Operation
Core working hours: Monday–Friday, 09:00–23:00 CET (Stockholm time)
Available for urgent tasks or short-term reviews upon prior arrangement.
I maintain flexible hours during proposal submission periods to meet tight EU deadlines.
💳 Payment Terms
Hourly or milestone-based billing depending on project scope.
💬 Preferred Communication Style
I value clear, structured, and proactive communication.
I provide regular progress updates for ongoing projects.
Feedback is welcome throughout the process, and I prioritise maintaining a collaborative, transparent workflow with every client.
