About
Biographical Sketch (chronological order): Sven Kronenberg, PhD, DABT, ERT, Expert Toxicologist-DGPT Starting in the pharmaceutical industry in 1999 at Schwarz Pharma (now UCB) as Toxicology Project Leader on toxicological assessments of small molecule drug candidates, Sven K. has in the meantime >15 years of professional experience in non-clinical safety (NCS) in various roles and responsibilities for small molecules and biologics. As Toxicology Site Head (assignment 2011-'12) in Penzberg/Germany, Roche´s largest European Biotech R&D and fermentation plant, he has gained experience in managerial tasks on-site in various areas within and outside NCS, in successfully building up Toxicology at a remote site and leading interactions with colleagues from other functions and at the other global NCS sites. The position covered the growing and complex portfolio of biologics from compound selection to late stage development, help to colleagues on-site and globally in terms of nonclinical safety strategies. Sven K. has gained an in-depth NCS understanding of biologics, namely as chair of internal advisory groups on biologics safety, as Nonclinical Topic Leader for Biosimilars at EMA on behalf of industry, and in leading the organisation of the European BIOsafe conference 2012 at Roche Basel. He has also been responsible for the toxicology program of two small molecule drugs that have been launched in 2007, and for another program that is in the submission phase for approval in 2015. Currently, in his additional role as Focus Area Lead and Nonclinical Safety Liaison, he oversees the portfolio and global non-clinical safety activities in Oncology related to Roche’s Pharma Research & Early Development, pRED, up to approval. He holds board certificates from the American Board of Toxicology (DABT), the German Society of Toxicology (DGPT), and is a European Registered Toxicologist (ERT). At university, Sven K. had studied biology with a focus on immunotoxicology.
