They are supported by Professor Filip Kiekens, head of the Department of Pharmaceutical Technology and Biopharmaceuticals of the University of Antwerp, and pharmacist Tim Henkens. The search for practical applications for their research took the scientists to Tom Verlinden. His background as a pharmacist led him to start biotech company YUN. YUN received the support of both the Agency of Innovation & Entrepreneurship and the Department of Economy, Science and Innovation of Flanders.
