Meet the Organisation
Isabel Muñoz-Willery Ph.D.
20 years’ experience in multinational companies serving life science laboratories in regulated markets. EMEA leader of application specialists’ teams. Founder of NL42 Consulting, owner of Paperless Lab Academy®
I have a Master in Molecular Biology at Pierre et Marie Curie University in Paris and a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in Madrid.
I initially started my professional career at PerkinElmer as application specialist of the DNA solutions. When the life science division became Applied Biosystems (now a division of ThermoFisher Scientific), I have progressed through a series of promotions as leader of multinational technical teams and as partner of European and Global Business Directors. My primary objectives have always been to provide the most adequate support to the business and to the customers. When the company decided to focus on providing turnkey solutions of rapid DNA identification to the most regulated industries like Pharma, Forensic and Food, I built an international technical teams (+ 20 persons over EMEA countries), design new services in alignment with customers´ market requirements (laboratory workflow automation, GLP process validation, IS017025 accreditation) and collaborate closely with the corporate R&D and product development teams in providing adequate solutions to the market.
When, together with Roberto Castelnovo, we decided to found NL42 we were looking for combining our technical and managerial knowledges and expertises to support customers in the digitisation of their laboratory and quality processes.
Meanwhile, we launched the Paperless Lab Academy® initiative as a platform for our customers to find more information about the offering of the Lab informatics industry, discuss and share experiences about digitalisation projects, learn about newest technologies and methodologies.
