We are happy to announce that our Chief Technology Officer Cristina Pantaleone today has been awarded Technician of the Year by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Southern Sweden.

The purpose of the award is to draw attention to the importance of technology for society, quality of life and entrepreneurship. The Technician of the Year award is given to a person who, through hos or her work, contributes to the development of society and inspires other technicians.

With her knowledge, Cristina has contributed to the development and quality assurance of the laser technology used by CLS. In addition, she has been driving the work so that CLS today can present an FDA-cleared and EU-approved laser ablation therapy system aimed to treat, among other things, prostate cancer, and drug-resistant epilepsy.

Cristina will receive the prize during a ceremony in Malmö, Sweden, tonight, November 24.
