I graduated from Northeastern University with a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, focusing on developing biologically synthesized nanomaterials as therapeutics to fight antimicrobial resistance to antibiotics (AMR) and chemotherapy-resistant tumors. I have a strong background in chemistry, nanotechnology, microbiology, cell biology, and oligonucleotide non-viral delivery for therapeutic applications. For the last couple of years, I have been developing novel non-viral platforms for the delivery of human artificial chromosomes (HAC) for the development of gene editing tools, and involved in the mechanistic and biochemical optimization of tRNA therapeutics for the treatment of rare diseases. I am also skilled in the entrepreneurship world: I am the founder of The Green Chemistry Lab, an independent research division within my old University lab, which became an incubator of ideas for the foundation of different startups: SynCell Biotechnology, a therapeutics company based on the use of selenium nanoparticles produced by pathogenic bacteria as antimicrobials; Nanolyx Inc, a materials science startup working with antimicrobial nanocoatings; and Novaurum Biosciences, a Medtech startup working on the use of human-cell derived nanocoatings for antimicrobial applications on implants. I have also been mentoring different startups over the years for different programs (e.g., MIT Solve, Nucleate, NEU,…) and helping founders to navigate the main problems of an early-stage company in the biotech/Medtech world. On the other hand, my passion does not end with research, as I am also skilled in leadership, management, and finances, with years of experience as a board member, CFO, and treasurer of a national scientific nonprofit (ECUSA).Craving knowledge and a will to learn, my path is always directed to help scientists, students, and entrepreneurs by any mean possible, either through research to develop quick solutions available to anyone or using community-related tasks to bring people and science together.
