Paul de Koning
Dr Paul de Koning (1958) has a MD and PhD (neuroscience) both from Utrecht University in the Netherlands. After some time in academia (training neurologist) he joined the pharmaceutical industry in 1988. He worked at Solvay Pharmaceuticals as Head of Clinical Pharmacology and Head of CNS Development. At Zeneca he served as the Global Head Clinical Immunology and at AstraZeneca as Global Head ECG centre and Clinical Pharmacology Units. His last Pharma position was with Astellas as Global Head Pain Therapeutic Area and Vice President (VP), Global Head of Clinical Pharmacology and Exploratory Development. In 2015 Paul resigned from Astellas to take a sabbatical.
