He thoughtfully understands business value inflection points along the entire value chain of pharmaceutical development, be it in rare or common diseases or drug delivery, and how the patient view can make a difference at these junctions.

Philipp has three children with his wife. He knows disability and rare diseases firsthand from his one daughter who lives with severe disability due to a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder called CDKL5. Independently of his work with admedicum, he remains engaged in voluntary work with national and international patient/parent organizations and is a member of the EU IMI Patient Expert Pool.
His belief that patient-oriented business thinking is one of the keys to future sustainable healthcare triggered his decision to co-found admedicum with Andreas Reimann in 2016.Â
