Kristofer Mussar

Chief Operating Officer

Kristofer Mussar graduated from University of Georgia with a PhD in Molecular Genetics where he focused on Epigenetics and Evolution. He simultaneously obtained his MBA from the Terry College of Business, being the first to do so, thereby opening the door for others at UGA to follow this path. Prior to this, he has multi-research backgrounds starting in Organic Chemistry and Structural Biology and evolving to Bioinformatics and Genomics where he developed algorithms to detect novel ncRNAs.

Kristofer is the Managing Director of VectorBuilder GmbH and COO of VectorBuilder Inc. Joining VectorBuilder in its inception, he quickly opened VectorBuilder GmbH a year after and has been running VB operations ever since. He has helped ignite the fast development of VectorBuilder and is a core leader in the senior management team.
