Dr. Joseph Lowdon

14:30 – 15:00

 

Joseph Lowdon is a chemistry enthusiast whose fascination with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) began during a summer internship and evolved into groundbreaking work. After a pivotal moment in 2016, where he discovered practical applications of MIPs in medicine, he moved to Maastricht, earning his PhD and co-founding Affinomer.

Joseph’s approach combines scientific curiosity with pragmatism. While MIPs hold vast medical potential (like detecting viruses or cancer), he first proved their value in the dairy industry—creating faster, cheaper tests for antibiotics in milk. As both CEO/CTO and a researcher at Brightlands Maastricht Health Campus, he balances innovation with a mission: turning lab discoveries into real-world solutions.
