Charlotte de Belder Tesséus

Chief Executive Officer

Charlotte received her BSc in Physiotherapy in 1996 and worked for 11 years at the Department of Neurology, Akademiska sjukhuset, Uppsala University Hospital. From 2008 until 2014 she worked as a Lecturer in Physiotherapy at the Department of Neuroscience, Uppsala University. Since 2000 she has been responsible for Administration and Business Management at TdB Labs and became Chief Executive Officer in 2009.

Charlotte has ever since taken the company and her own business skills through one of the worlds best business incubators, Uppsala Innovation Center, and successfully completed a mini-MBA program. She worked in close collaboration with highly skilled professionals in business economy, sales, marketing, and quality assurance, and led the company from a GLP level to ISO 9001 certification in 2015. Charlotte has in 2018 become a certified coach through the International Coach Federation and her efforts have generated a sustainable leadership and business model for TdB Labs with the help of Sweden´s most active business developer, ALMI. Charlotte is also the Member of the Board in TdB Labs and has throughout the most recent years completed professional education in Board strategy and sustainable Board Work.

Charlotte has been given the lead of the company by the founder of TdB Labs Tony de Belder, and the enterprise has grown 3-fold since then, generating the highest reliability and quality reputation and winning several prizes and awards.

Raffaello Papadakis

MEng, PhD
Senior Research Scientist

Raffaello holds a Chemical Engineering Diploma (2005) and a PhD degree in the field of physical organic chemistry (2010), both from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece. During his PhD, he specialized in the synthesis of solvatochromic probes and molecular switches. Later on, he moved to Marseille, France (September 2010–January 2013) working as a researcher at the Institute of Molecular Sciences, CNRS/Aix-Marseille University, in the field of water oxidation catalysts in the research group of Dr. Thierry Tron. Raffaello has subsequently moved to Uppsala University to join the group of Dr. Henrik Ottosson (2014) in which he worked as a PostDoc and later on as a researcher. His research interests revolve around physical organic and materials chemistry with an emphasis on the chemistry and photochemistry of graphene as well as polysaccharide chemistry. He is the author and co-author of 30 peer-reviewed scientific papers, three book chapters and has more than 35 contributions to international conference proceedings. Furthermore, Raffaello is an active referee of scientific peer-reviewed papers of world-class chemistry journals and he has acted repeatedly as a scientific expert evaluating international research grant proposals (including EU-grant applications). He has acted as the academic editor of a Book related to Dyes and Pigments and the Molecules (MDPI) issue: “Coupling Heterocyclic to Graphene Chemistry: Syntheses, Functionalizations, Interactions and Catalysis”. In his work at TdB Labs, Raffaello is particularly interested in polysaccharide fluorescent labeling and dye applications. Raffaello works currently as a senior research scientist at TdB Labs AB.

Jiajie Yan

PhD
Senior Research Scientist

Jiajie did his bachelor (2010) and master (2013) studies, respectively, in pharmacy and medicinal chemistry in China. In 2013, he joined Prof. Lars Engman (emeritus) group at Uppsala University, Sweden and received his PhD (2017) there in organic chemistry, specializing in the development of synthetic regenerable chalcogenide antioxidants. Afterwards, he moved to the UK and worked with Prof. David Procter as a postdoc (2018-2019) at the University of Manchester. There he focused on material-oriented synthetic sulfur chemistry. Later on, he started a two-year postdoc (2019) with Assoc. Prof. Henrik Ottosson on photochemical transformations of (hetero)aromatics back at Uppsala University. So far, he has got 14 peer-reviewed scientific publications as the author and co-author. Jiajie is currently working as a senior research scientist at TdB Labs AB.

Kinjal Shah

PhD
Marketing Manager

Kinjal received her B. Tech in Biotechnology (2012) from Padmashree Dr. D. Y. Patil University (Mumbai, India). After graduation, she joined a year long Advanced Diploma Program in Biotherapeutics at a Biopharmaceutical company; Reliance Life Sciences (Mumbai, India). She continued there as a Research Fellow in the Regenerative Medicine department where she worked with adult stem cells for further 2 years (2012-2015). Kinjal then moved back to the academia and pursued Master’s in Molecular Biology, Molecular Genetics and Biotechnology (2015-2017) from Lund University (Lund, Sweden). Following this, she continued her academic journey in the same University by pursuing Doctorate in Medical Science (2017-2021) in translational cancer research (PhD thesis titled: Mechanisms of therapy resistance in acute lymphoblastic leukemia).

During the tenure of her PhD, Kinjal realized her dream of moving from bench to business, where she could utilize her communication skills and simultaneously imbibe knowledge within sales, marketing and leadership! Like the missing piece of a jigsaw puzzle that feels accomplished upon completing the picture by being properly placed, Kinjal feels accomplished as she has found her true calling and has currently joined TdB Labs AB as the ‘Marketing Manager’ from 24th March 2022.
