AC Immune CEO Prof. Andrea Pfeifer awarded Swiss Life Sciences/High-Tech Entrepreneur of the Year 2009
Prof. Andrea Pfeifer, CEO of AC Immune, said: “It is a great honor for me personally and for all of the team at AC Immune to be chosen amongst our excellent peers in Switzerland. This award is a wonderful recognition of our achievements over the past six years to create a world-class biopharmaceutical company whose therapies promise so much hope to patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.”
“We have faced all sorts of risks in establishing AC Immune, but our courage and 'passion to win' have enabled us to succeed. Switzerland has a century of tradition in leading the world in the Life Sciences/High-Tech sectors, and we must continue to support the spirit of our country’s entrepreneurs and ensure the successful flourishing of these new businesses in the coming decades. I would like to thank Ernst & Young for their commitment and engagement in this economically and socially important mission.”
