Bringing your ideas to life

About me

HK Scientific Consulting is the one-woman show of me, Helena Karajiannis, Ph.D., a healthcare professional with over 30 years of experience in the industry.

Before initiating my own business in 2007, I worked for Roche and Bayer and enjoyed my responsibilities as brand manager of Bepanthen in Switzerland and later as international science manager of various leading Consumer Health brands (e.g., Bepanthen, Aleve, Saridon, Calcium Products, Canesten, etc.).

Throughout my career, I have gained broad experience with medicinal products, substance-based medical devices, food supplements, and cosmetics.

As project leader, I lead teams through due diligence, new product developments up to their launch, or the implementation of new regulatory requirements, e.g., the Medical Device Regulation (MDR).

As a medical/scientific writer and science manager, I’ve crafted a wide array of documents. From scientific publications and conference reports to clinical evaluation reports and training for sales forces or health care professionals, I’ve demonstrated my ability to communicate complex information effectively.

My objective-oriented style and ability to juggle multiple projects while successfully meeting deadlines are strengths I have leveraged throughout my career. Further contributing to my success is my capacity to build trustful partnerships with clients, key opinion leaders, and regulatory authorities. Participation in congresses and continuous professional training are constantly strengthening my expertise.

My broad science base, extensive industry experience, and interest in new challenges have given me the skills to address various topics and tasks.

I graduated in pharmaceutical sciences from the University of Bern in Switzerland and earned a PhD in medicinal chemistry at the same University and Roche (Basel). I speak and write fluently German, English, Greek, and French.
