Jelle Eikelhof, MSc

Hi, I’m Jelle.
Nice to meet you!

As a consultant at ttopstart, I work everyday with (biomedical) researchers and entrepreneurs to help them turn their innovations into reality.

I try to support our clients in the translation of their disruptive innovations while simultaneously challenging their ideas to improve them together.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and a Master’s degree in Science and Business Management from Utrecht University. During my studies, I gained experience in scientific research through two extensive research internships and a job as a student assistant at the Plant Microbe Interactions group of the institute of Environmental Biology at Utrecht University. Here I worked, among others, on the genetic dissection of specific downy mildew (Bremia lactucae) effector proteins in lettuce (Lactuca spp.).

Additionally, I gained experience in consultancy during an internship at Capgemini Invent in the Executive Leadership and Change competence group of the Strategy and Transformation department. I am fascinated by the application of scientific research and use this passion to help turn scientific innovations into reality at ttopstart.
