Scientific Network Management is led by Pascal Kahlem, PhD in human genetics, who has served as Key Expert and Team Leader on European Union technical assistance contracts for the establishment of biotechnology research centres in Türkiye.
Key Expert · Team Leader
Design and establishment of a theranostics development centre of ten technical service units and an incubator: scientific capabilities, equipment specification, staffing structure and operational model. The centre is coordinated by the Ankara University Cancer Research Institute and financed under the Competitive Sectors Programme, co-funded by the European Union and the Republic of Türkiye.
Key Expert · Team Leader
Establishment of three biotechnology units within the university, from technical specification through to operational readiness. The infrastructure, instrument park and activities of the Life Sciences and Technologies Centre have since been restructured into the Boğaziçi University Center for Targeted Therapy Technologies (Boğaziçi CT3).
Both assignments were delivered under the Competitive Sectors Programme of the Turkish Ministry of Industry and Technology, financed within the framework of financial cooperation between the European Union and the Republic of Türkiye.

Seven international scientific projects and networks since 2006. Five predate Scientific Network Management and were run from the European Bioinformatics Institute: ENFIN, MICROME, SYBARIS, transPLANT, and the Training Platform of the ELIXIR research infrastructure, which he coordinated. ProteomeXchange spans both: managed from inside the EBI from the start, then through SNM once he left in 2014 and the company joined the consortium. RECOGNISED, the Horizon 2020 diabetes and dementia consortium coordinated in Barcelona, ran from 2020 to 2024 with him as project manager under contract.
Each of the seven is listed with its funding programme, period, coordinator and grant number, so any of them can be looked up on CORDIS.
The same background, supporting SME business development and building tech-transfer centres, is what SNM draws on when writing the impact, exploitation and valorisation sections of grant applications for research groups and companies.
