I am a bioengineer, professor, and biotech founder working at the intersection of synthetic biology, microfluidics, automation, and AI. I co-founded Doroth, a biotech company in Latin America, and my background blends academic research, translational engineering, and startup building. My next entrepreneurial project focuses on synthetic microbial communities as programmable biological systems. I am exploring how AI-guided design, networked bioreactors, and automation can create stable, functional consortia for agriculture, biomanufacturing, and microbiome applications. My broader goal is to develop scalable bio-platform ventures while paving pathways for PhD-trained scientists to become founders and technical leaders in the bioeconomy.
