As a passionate feminist, when presented with an opportunity to build on pivotal research conducted in collaboration between two of Denmark’s most prestigious universities, and use this to form the basis of a groundbreaking women’s health company, she could not resist. Ella has since set out to forge a novel and innovative treatment for vaginal infections and accelerate advances in women’s healthcare.

Since starting Uvisa, Ella, along with the rest of the team, have won several competitions and awards of recognition within both the Danish entrepreneurship ecosystem and further afield. These include the Venture Cup Health Category 2021, Plougmann Vingtoft “IP Matters” Competition 2021, PDMA Global Student Innovation Challenge 2021, DTU X-Tech Final December 2021, the BII Sten Scheibye Award 2022, and were a finalist in the Danish Tech Challenge 2022. She has also established research partnerships with key opinion leaders at Statens Serum Institut, Region Hovedstaden, and København Universitet. While founding Uvisa, she completed an MSc. in Technology Entrepreneurship at Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU).

Her research focused on the vaginal microbiome in Scandinavian and South African women. She investigated the effects of combining probiotics with the standard treatment on the vaginal microbiome, the cure rate & delay in relapse, and engineering lactobacilli for the production of antimicrobials. She has gained valuable experience in the role of Chief Product Officer and Medical Science Lead at Briota Technologies, which is a digital health and wellness company that creates tech solutions for the management of pulmonary diseases. During her tenure at the very early phase of the company, she led product development that catered to Danish and European needs and led the clinical study planning phase while establishing the first KOL/PI network for conducting clinical trials in Denmark. Sonal is using her extensive knowledge of the vaginal microbiome and experience with healthcare technology and clinical trials to help Uvisa develop a non-pharmacological treatment for vaginal infections.

After studying a Bachelors in Product Design Engineering and Masters in Industrial Design, he worked with companies such as IDEO, Bang & Olufsen, Soundboks and Danish Design Center. He later went on to freelance while developing his own design ethos with a focus on sustainable development and circular economies. In his spare time he explores music, indulges in art and discovering new experiences through cultural participation. Christian will apply his experience working on innovative solutions to create a great leap forward for women’s health.

With a Bachelor’s degree in Human Life Science Engineering from DTU, Annemette has hands-on experience in gut microbiota research from DTU Bioengineering, the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability, and Kyoto University. She has also contributed to evidence-based medicine initiatives as a student assistant at the Danish Health Authority, gaining valuable insights into health policy. At UVISA, she combines her experiences to develop and test a safe, effective, non-pharmacological treatment for vaginal infections, supporting the creation of an innovative solution for women’s health. Outside the lab, she enjoys making ceramics and running, both of which inspire her creativity and well-being.

With a passion for turning ideas into impactful content and functional digital solutions, she combines empathy, aesthetics, and data-driven insight in her approach. Dedicated to advancing women’s health initiatives, Lise enjoys creatively shaping UVISA's brand and communication strategy. Outside of work, she finds joy in crafting jewelry, exploring sound therapy, and connecting with nature.
