Enzyme Technology Expert |Food R&D Consultant | Specializing in Enzyme Immobilization / Bioprocess Scale-up & Technical

Profile Summary

I am a highly specialized Food Biotechnologist and Research Consultant (PhD Candidate) with over 9 years of combined experience in advanced bioprocessing, biocatalysis, and innovation management. My core expertise lies at the intersection of enzyme technology and sustainable food/biotech systems, specifically focused on optimizing biological processes for industrial applications. Core Technical Expertise: Enzyme Immobilization & Engineering: Deep hands-on experience in developing high-efficiency biocatalysts using advanced immobilization techniques, including Cross-Linked Enzyme Aggregates (CLEAs), entrapment methodologies, and cutting-edge enzyme-inorganic nanostructures (nanoflowers/nanocrystals) to enhance stability, reusability, and cost-effectiveness. Green Extraction & Bioprocess Development: Expert in experimental design (DoE using Design-Expert) for the green extraction and scale-up of bioactive molecules, proteins, and peptides. Innovation & Technical Advisory: Proven track record as an R&D Program Manager in a biotech accelerator, performing technical evaluations, risk assessments, and scalability analysis for early-stage FoodTech and Biotech startups. Research & Professional Highlights: Ongoing PhD Research: Focusing on novel enzyme immobilization frameworks and green extraction methods to improve the functionality and sustainability of food and bio-based products. Industrial & Academic Impact: Successfully developed and patented a bioactive-based ingredient, successfully transitioning protocols from laboratory scale to industrial production (Technology Transfer). Fluent in English and intermediate in Spanish, I am adept at bridging the gap between complex academic research and commercial R&D objectives. I am available for freelance consulting on Kolabtree to assist with biocatalysis design, enzyme stability troubleshooting, bioprocess optimization, and technical evaluation of biotech projects.
