Dr. Annette Kleiser has over 25 years of experience in leadership, business development, start-up formation, and corporate strategy within the biotechnology industry. She studied biology at the University of Konstanz and earned her Ph.D. from Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich. In 2018, she founded Dalan Animal Health, a company focused on pioneering disease prevention in underserved production animals such as shrimp and honeybees. Under her leadership, Dalan successfully developed the world’s first USDA-approved vaccine for an insect — protecting honeybees against American Foulbrood disease.
Building on this success, Annette and her team have now made a major breakthrough in aquaculture using Dalan’s proprietary vaccine platform for the development of vaccines shrimp, long thought impossible to vaccinate.
