About Linda Dijkshoorn
“I have always been fascinated with Biology and had an entrepreneurial spirit. This shone through during my Bachelor Biomedical sciences and my Msc Molecular Cell biology as I set up, ran and grew my first company during that time. That entrepreneurial experiment turned out very successful and convinced me that my future was in the Biotechnology Industry as an entrepreneur. To that end I moved to Groningen for a PhD program focussed on biotech and synthetic Biology at the department of Chemical Pharmaceutical Biology at Groningen University. During my time there and the experiences I had engineering microorganisms for industry, the idea for EV Biotech evolved.
