Anna Belousova

Anna is an Associate with the Sofinnova Industrial Biotech strategy. She joined us in 2020.

Previously she worked as an analyst in the innovation department of the EFKO Group, one of the top three Russian food industry groups, where she covered the FoodTech and AgriTech sectors. Prior to that, she was an analyst in the Seeds Department at Bayer Crop Science CIS.

Initially graduating as a marine biologist specializing in luminous invertebrates, Anna has always valued diversity and sustainability. Her tenacity and curiosity were encouraged by a saying from her professors: “The worm is so long, and life is so short,” which Anna finds applicable to any project. "Great ideas fade away if we don't support them," she said. "So, finding equilibrium by applying the necessary amount of time to the necessary technologies gives beautiful results."

She holds a BSc in Biology from Moscow State University, and an M.Sc. in Biomedical Science from Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology.
