What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles where I can identify and evaluate high-potential environmental biotechnology opportunities for VC/PE, supporting Circular Bioeconomy and Environmental Pollution Reduction with a strong research and data-analysis foundation.

I’m a Biotechnology graduate with expertise in Plant Biotechnology, Environmental Microbiology, and Circular Bioeconomy. I’ve developed lab protocols, analyzed research data, and presented findings to industry partners—turning scientific work into practical, commercial applications.

Through my Erasmus Exchange Research Student experience at the University of Barcelona, I worked on crop physiology enhancement and plant preservation/shelf-life extension, building a strong research-to-execution mindset. Now, I’m focused on identifying and evaluating high-potential environmental biotechnology investments, with a clear emphasis on Circular Bioeconomy and environmental pollution reduction.
