With a PhD in Stem Cells, Regenerative Medicine & Tissue Engineering and 15 years of international experience in biotechnology, cell line development, bioprocessing, stem cells, and regenerative medicine, I have a strong background and passion for applying animal cell culture technology to create sustainable and ethical food solutions, novel research tools for biomedical application (such as cell-based models) and cell therapies. I am an experienced leader in the biotechnology and food sector, with demonstrated deliverables in building and managing R&D teams and achieving key milestones and breakthroughs. In my previous role, I was one of the founding members and the Senior Director of Cell Culture R&D (Cellular Agriculture) at GOOD Meat, a subdivision of Eat Just, Inc., where I led a team of scientists and engineers to produce cultivated (cell-based) meat products. Amongst some of our top achievements, we accomplished the first ever worldwide regulatory authorization for commercialization of cultivated meat in Singapore and the United States. I'm now leading the cell biology R&D program at Hoxton Farms, a leading animal cell-cultivated fat company based in London, for applications as ingredients in hybrid meat products.

Post-Doc Fellow, Stem Cell-Based Strategies For Regenerative Medicine3B´S Research Group May 2012 - Apr 2013Caldas Das Taipas, Guimarães, PtHis Post-Doc work was focused on the combination of nanotechnology approaches, imaging systems, drug delivery systems and stem cells into complex and intricate tissue engineering and regenerative medicine strategies. In particular, he was establishing the use of magnetic nanoparticles as theranostic tools for stem cell engineering and for biomaterial production. -
Phd Student, Tissue Engineering, Regenerative Medicine And Stem Cells3B´S Research Group Jan 2008 - Mar 2012Caldas Das Taipas, Guimarães, PtHis PhD plan at the 3B's research group, University of Minho, based on the production of natural-based hydrogel/scaffold materials capable of inducing regeneration of bone and cartilage tissues. He has also been involved in the study of several nanoparticulate release systems for the sustained delivery of bioactive molecules, for further stimulation of cell proliferation, differentiation and general integration of the implant within the defect area. For his PhD work, the student has established a collaboration with Kyoto University, Department of Frontier Medical Sciences, under the supervision of Prof. Y. Tabata, one of the biggest names in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
