BIONEXT strengthens its governance to prepare for the future

Three people pose in front of a blue wall with the BIONEXT logo. Left to right: a man in a suit, a woman in a shirt and jeans, and a man in a sweater. These are Dr. Jean-Luc Dourson, Dr. Emilie Weibel and Dr. Thibault Ferrandon, representing the new governance of BIONEXT.

As of April 1, 2026, BIONEXT, a Luxembourg-based medical laboratory, is evolving its governance to support its development and address the new challenges of a rapidly transforming healthcare sector.

A Board of Directors, chaired by Dr Jean-Luc Dourson, will carry forward the laboratory’s strategic vision and founding values since its creation in 2017.

New governance to support BIONEXT’s growth

On the operational level:

  • Dr Thibault Ferrandon is appointed CEO (Chief Executive Officer) after 8 years in the laboratory’s Medical Directorate
  • Dr Emilie Weibel is appointed CMO (Chief Medical Officer), bringing her experience as a medical biologist within the laboratory since 2020.

“The appointments of Thibault and Emilie are clear and natural choices, based on trust, expertise, and alignment with our values. This transition, focused on the future, represents continuity. It shows that our company does not rely on a single individual, but on a strong, competent, and committed collective dedicated to our public health mission in service of patients and healthcare professionals,” says Dr Jean-Luc Dourson, Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Strengthening strategy in response to healthcare sector challenges

In an environment marked by increased competition, strict regulation, and significant economic pressure, this new organization reflects BIONEXT’s commitment to:

  • Strengthening its governance
  • Optimizing its resources
  • Continuing its investments in biomedical innovation and the quality of medical analyses

BIONEXT’s identity, medical excellence, and strong roots in Luxembourg remain at the heart of this strategic evolution.

Congratulations to Dr Thibault Ferrandon and Dr Emilie Weibel on their new roles, and thanks to all 350 employees for their daily commitment, loyalty, and trust.
