\"Dr.
Dr. Gerd Heimlich (Senior Sales Executive for LIB Europe)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yokogawa has long been committed to the sustainability goals formulated by the UN. In this context, the focus is on good health and well-being. Against this background, the aim is to strengthen the Life Innovation Business in a targeted and sustainable manner in the future.<\/p>\n

In order to drive this forward in Europe,\u00a0Dr. Gerd Heimlich<\/a>\u00a0has now joined Yokogawa as a new sales and market developer at Yokogawa Germany, has now assumed responsibility for the Life Innovation Business (LIB). He has worked in the medical device industry for the past 14 years. Prior to that, he was a life science researcher in the field of programmed cell death (apoptosis).<\/p>\n

After the first visit to Yokogawa\u2019s global LIB headquarters in Kanazawa, Japan, Dr. Heimlich was available for an interview. Among other things, he talked about the future direction of the Life Innovation Business and the changes that the near future will bring.<\/p>\n

Dr. Heimlich, what is new for Yokogawa?<\/u><\/h3>\n

Dr. Gerd Heimlich<\/u>:<\/strong>\u00a0Most of us know Yokogawa as a product and solutions provider for the oil, gas, and pharma industry. Even though certain products for the\u00a0Life Science<\/u>\u00a0field exist for decades not enough focus was put on this business area. Following our 2050 agenda aligning with the UN goals, \u2018human well-being<\/em>\u2019 is of great importance to us. Therefore, our\u00a0Life Innovation Business\u00a0<\/em>is a new and strong strategic focus area for Yokogawa.<\/p>\n

Which Yokogawa products are you referring to as part of the Life Innovation Business?<\/u><\/h3>\n

Heimlich:<\/u>\u00a0<\/strong>The basis for our\u00a0Life Innovation Business<\/em> are our state-of-the-art Confocal Scanner Units<\/a> (CSU)<\/u>\u00a0which are supporting researchers and microscopy users for many years to obtain\u00a0high-resolution live cell images<\/u>. The core of our\u00a0Life Innovation Business<\/em>\u00a0encompasses the\u00a0Confocal Quantitative Image Cytometer (CQ1)<\/a>\u00a0<\/u>as well as the\u00a0High-throughput Cytological Discovery System (CV8000)<\/u><\/a>. Further product developments are underway. With this new\u00a0Yokogawa Life Science Blog Series,<\/em>\u00a0we will display the technical features and unique offerings of our products with the next postings in the future.<\/p>\n

[spacer space=30 space_mobile=10]<\/p>\n

What are the results of the new strategic focus in the market?<\/u><\/h3>\n

Heimlich:\u00a0<\/u><\/strong>In the past, most of the LIB outside of Japan was performed in cooperation with external partners. Now, in developed markets like the US and Europe, the local Yokogawa entities will take over the daily sales, marketing, and service responsibilities themselves. This change will be performed together with the existing distributors, where we have already a long and successful collaboration. The first steps have already been taken by hiring additional employees with various experiences that bring new ideas to our Yokogawa organization supporting the growth of the\u00a0Life Innovation Business<\/em>\u00a0in the future years.<\/p>\n

What can we expect in the European market particularly?<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Heimlich:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0We want to ensure a close connection and relationship with our European customers. Therefore, this market will be managed out of the German country organization instead of our European headquarter. This is somewhat special for Yokogawa, but we expect a lot of benefits from that. Furthermore, the European market will have close and direct communication, as well as collaboration with our Japanese colleagues from our Life Innovation Business, headquartered in Kanazawa, Japan.<\/p>\n

What structure follows your new strategy for Life Innovation Business?<\/u><\/h3>\n

Heimlich:<\/u><\/strong> For a few years we have already\u00a0European Service Engineers<\/em>\u00a0in place to technically support our\u00a0LIB<\/em>\u00a0products for\u00a0High Content Analysis (HCA)<\/u>\u00a0like the\u00a0Cell Voyager<\/u>\u00a0systems. Just last month we extended our European Sales and Marketing team to further drive our activities in the region. With the further growth of the\u00a0Life Innovation Business<\/em>\u00a0additional talents in the field of\u00a0Life Science<\/u>\u00a0applications and technical service will be hired.<\/p>\n

Can you give us an example of European-Japanese collaboration?<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Heimlich:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0Just at the end of October Yokogawa hosted a\u00a0User Group Meeting<\/em>\u00a0for our\u00a0High Content Screening (HCS)<\/u>\u00a0respectively\u00a0High Content Analysis (HCA)<\/u>\u00a0customers in Paris. We had a strong presence of our Japanese colleagues displaying some of our new product as well as software developments. Also, a lot of European customer feedback was collected and taken back to the development team in Japan. Additionally, just a couple of weeks ago, we had the chance to visit our\u00a0Life Innovation Business<\/em>\u00a0headquarter in Kanazawa, Japan. We met many colleagues including our development team and experienced the existing as well as future\u00a0Life Science<\/u>\u00a0products first hand. There is a great spirit in the whole global Yokogawa organization to really \u201cstart-over\u201d and grow the\u00a0Life Innovation Business<\/em>\u00a0in the future.<\/p>\n

Will there be new product developments for the Life Innovation Business?<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Heimlich:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0It is not a secret that\u00a0Yokogawa recently acquired a start-up company called BioStinger Inc<\/u><\/a>. Their technology uses a nanopipette to inject substances into or extract intracellular material from single-cells. If all goes as planned, we expect this technology next year in the European market. Furthermore, automated\u00a0high-throughput applications\u00a0<\/u>in the field of\u00a0single-cell analysis<\/u>\u00a0are also under development and hopefully available in the near future. Additionally, Yokogawa is developing a new\u00a0bio-reactor<\/u> using some of our core product technologies like near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to closely control glucose concentration and consumption that enabling optimal conditions for cell growth in culture.<\/p>\n

What is your take-home message for the reader?<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Heimlich:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0The\u00a0Life Science<\/u>\u00a0field, its scientific results and ultimately developments increasingly contribute to human well-being. Yokogawa takes on its responsibility to partner with researchers in this area offering its high-quality technology as well as customer-focused service. The Yokogawa\u00a0Life Innovation Business<\/em>\u00a0is renewing itself. We strive to take new roads, offer state-of-the-art solutions allowing researchers. So we want to obtain answers to their scientific questions in a fast and efficient way. We are all looking forward to co-innovating tomorrow with you.<\/p>\n
