Katja Mjos

Dr. Katja Mjos is a Technology Transfer Officer at UBC’s University-Industry Liaison Office (UILO). As an experienced research chemist, she knows how to establish connections (“bonds”) between two entities (“atoms”) to make something bigger (“molecule”), which sometimes requires just a little bit of extra energy. At UBC, she uses her connecting skills to bring technologies out of the lab and into the market by being the innovation catalyst who enables strong research and innovation bonds between members of the UBC research community and industry, entrepreneurs, government or non-profit organizations for the betterment of society. She holds a PhD in medicinal bioinorganic chemistry from The University of British Columbia (Canada), and an MSc in chemistry from the Carl-von-Ossietzky University (Germany).
