Wilfred Poppinga

My personal passions all drive around improving life and health, I have done this as a scientist, educator, and as a (project) manager – I have written papers and proposals on topics related to drug targets, proofs-of-concept and innovative ideas, and I continuously help others to do so.

For the future, I wish to continue to play a role in innovative development using my core strengths of syntopical thinking, creative problem-solving and pro-active interpersonal skills to strive for excellence and reliability in everything I do. In this way, I intend to ensure the quality of my work and the work of those around me.

To be able to do this, I am open to opportunities to grow in (project) management roles and/or any role related to innovation requiring my extensive (complex) data analysis – or writing experience (Dutch and English).
