Annette Bakker, PhD

Children's Tumor Foundation (CTF) President

As President of the CTF, Annette brings leadership experience in the academic world and pharma/biotech research enterprises in Europe and the U.S. Intrigued by the observation that the path from great basic discoveries to great clinical benefit is often inefficient, she joined the CTF to try to smooth this path for neurofibromatosis (NF), a rare genetic disorder. Her hope is that the CTF will benefit patients with NF and the larger rare disease community.

Previously, Annette served as head of the Oncology R&D department for a biotech company in Italy, was Oncology Group Leader at Janssen Pharmaceutica, and completed postdoctoral fellowships at Yale University and La Salpetriere, Paris. Her research has been internationally recognized and she has extensive experience liaising and negotiating with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies.
