Merijn Salverda is Associate Director of Discovery at AdJane. He is a molecular microbiologist with expertise in outer membrane vesicle (OMV) technology and antimicrobial resistance.

Merijn obtained his PhD at Wageningen University, where he used experimental evolution to study the adaptive potential of a clinically important antibiotic resistance enzyme. He later joined Intravacc, where his work centered on the development of OMV platform technology, with an emphasis on heterologous expression and bacterial genome engineering. Over the years, he has led successful strain construction projects for both internal programs and commercial partners. Merijn brings more than two decades of experience in molecular microbiology and over a decade in OMV technology.
