ULRIKA HOLMQUIST

Clinical Development Manager | Amferia AB

Ulrika Holmquist is a qualified veterinarian with a decade of professional experience as a horse racing jockey. At Amferia, she works at the intersection of clinical needs and new medical technology — bringing antimicrobial peptide-based wound care from research into real-world use.

Amferia is a Chalmers-born medtech company that has gone from lab to FDA approval, developing wound care solutions that reduce bacteria locally in a safe and effective way. Their journey raises a compelling question: what if the future of human healthcare is already being shaped in veterinary medicine?

This talk explores how innovation can take root in animal care, cross over into human medicine, and challenge established approaches to infection and wound treatment.

The Crossover: From the racetrack to the operating table. One career, two species, the same drive.
