Emil has been chief designer for medicinal products of several dosage forms. Emil comes from the Swedish Medical Products Agency (MPA), where he spent eight years as a pharmaceutical inspector. As an inspector he inspected sites in Sweden and in countries outside the EU, e.g. China, India, USA. He has knowledge in GMP and GDP for both medicinal products and active pharmaceutical substances. After working as a Senior Consultant for RegSmart Life Science AB, he returned as an inspector with the MPA in November 2021.
