Lorens P. Sibbesen (1954) blev uddannet som kemiingeniør i 1980 og har i hele sin karriere beskæftiget sig med laboratorier!  Først og fremmest gennem undervisning – dels på grunduddannelsen for industrilaboranter, dels i forbindelse med planlægning og afholdelse af en lang række efteruddannelseskurser inden for laboratorieområdet.

Den faglige spidskompetence ligger inden for området kvalitetsstyring og -sikring på laboratorier, hvor viden og erfaring er opbygget gennem 12 år som kvalitetsleder af akkrediterede laboratorier, hvilket giver baggrund for kvalificeret rådgivning og uddannelse inden for området.

Har siden april 2000 haft egen virksomhed (LAB Quality), der udbyder efteruddannelse og rådgivning til laboratorieområdet med hovedvægt på kvalitetsstyringsrelaterede emner.  Har igennem dette arbejde en meget bred kontaktflade til analyselaboratorier inden for mange forskellige brancher (miljø, pharma, levnedsmidler, hospitaler m.v.)
