Ingen appoints director of r&d

Aims to increase sales of in vitro diagnostic (IVD) kits

Ingen Biosciences, a French developer of advanced in vitro diagnostic kits for clinical use, has appointed Karine Mignon-Godefroy as director of research & development.

Mignon-Godefroy joins the firm to generate sales of its first proprietary in vitro diagnostic (IVD) kit. These IVD kits are based on the firm’s specialist knowledge in proteomics and expertise in synthesising new recombinant antigens. Mignon-Godefroy will be responsible for identifying clinically relevant recombinant antigens as potential markers for the detection of infectious diseases found in prosthetic replacements, and to develop innovative IVD kits for clinical use.

‘Dr Mignon-Godefroy’s 15 years’ experience in biotechnology, depth of knowledge and skills will be a major contribution to our on-going r&d efforts,’ said Jean-Pierre Hermet, chief executive of Ingen Biosciences. ‘Her arrival will also strengthen the team, which has made significant inroads into developing products based on innovative technologies.'

Mignon-Godefroy joins Ingen Biosciences from the blood virus division of Bio-Rad, a manufacturer and distributor of products for a range of technologies including proteomics, where she was director of international projects.
