Andreas Meliniotis

Andreas Meliniotis is Director of Device Development at Vectura, leads the mechanical engineering team and the Vectura engineering facility located on the Cambridge Science Park. Andreas has been working at Vectura since 2003, studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Nottingham and is a Chartered Mechanical Engineer and Chartered Manager.

Andreas has led the design and development of several novel multi-dose DPIs, from initial concept through to scaled-up commercialized products, in addition to working on hand-held mesh nebulizers and more latterly on novel connected devices. Throughout the developments Andreas has designed and commissioned a variety of bespoke test equipment to aid both the early device development and later device verification processes. Andreas has a passion for focusing on simplistic design, in particular simplification at the conceptual level to achieve simple, user centric, easy to manufacture products.

Prior to joining Vectura Andreas worked for the Cambridge Design Partnership developing a novel lancet and glucose measurement device and for The Technology Partnership developing large scale industrial printing technology.
