Klaus Lubbe

Klaus is the president and founder of Bio X Cell. He created the company in 1997 in response to the growing need for accessible, high-quality, in vivo-ready antibodies in both the private and public research sectors.

Klaus was born in Germany where he earned a Ph.D. in Microbiology from the University of Stuttgart. After graduation and 2 years as a post-doc at MIT, Klaus was offered a job with Boehringer Ingelheim in Connecticut. While there, he specialized in purifying and fermenting monoclonal antibodies. This job gave Klaus the cell culture knowledge he would later draw upon when starting Bio X Cell.

Initially, Klaus was responsible for every facet of Bio X Cell, from production through shipping. As the company has grown, Klaus has continued to oversee operations, ensuring ongoing quality of production as well as modeling a positive company culture that encourages a strong sense of social responsibility among employees.

Outside of the office, Klaus enjoys road biking, skiing, hiking with his dog Lui, and making sushi. He and his wife Patti enjoy watching their daughter swim competitively, and his family’s collective love of the outdoors has taken them on adventures all over the world.
