Our Team
Experts advancing science
Rubén Nogueiras
Scientific Advisor
Rubén joined the Spanish R&D system through the Ramón y Cajal Program in 2009. In 2014, he obtained a position as Associate Professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela, and since 2020, he is a researcher in the Oportunius Program of the Xunta de Galicia.
According to the “World Scientist and University Rankings 2023” , Rubén is in the top 3% among more than 1.3 million researchers, being an international reference in the study of the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of obesity and its associated diseases such as type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (MAFLD).
Uxía Fernández
Chief Scientific Officer – CSO
Uxía obtained a University Degree in Biology, followed by a Biomedical Research Master. She earned his Ph.D. in Endocrinology, studying the altered molecular mechanisms behind obesity/type 2 diabetes.
She has been responsible for establishing the euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp technique, the “gold standard” test for determining insulin sensitivity/resistance in vivo. At this moment, she is the only person performing this approach in Spain.
David Calvo
Chief Executive Officer – CEO
Graduated in Business Administration and Master in Banking and Finance, he completed his academic training with a Specialization Degree in Technology Transfer and Clinical Trials, as well as Research Commercialization, Consultancy, Licensing and Business Creation”.
David is a consultant specialized in valorization of technological projects, and expert evaluator and advisor for European Union financing programs for start-ups (EIC Instrument, T2M, Cinea). With more than 15 years of experience in science management, start-ups and investment.
