The Board
Guillermo is committed to advance European Synbio. Guillermo is also a researcher at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, where he studies how to genetically domesticate skin bacteria to develop new diagnostics and therapeutics. Graduated in Biotechnology from the University of Zaragoza and a Master in Quantitative Biology from the University of Paris, Guillermo has a deep interest in the field of synthetic biology which took him to do research at international centres like the Pasteur Institute or the University of Warwick. He is also engaged in science education and communication, participating as a jury and mentor in the iGEM competition and publishing outreach articles in magazines like The Conversation or Jot Down. His passion for reading and non-fiction writing also led him to be expeditionary of the Ruta Quetzal. In short, Guillermo thrives on having fun while continuously learning.

Sofia has a life-time love with research related to microorganisms, from using them in vitro to help us understanding human disease to finding the mechanistic principles underlying gene translocation. She is amazed by how synthetic biology can provide an immense box tool to dig into molecular and cellular dynamics, not forgetting its cool applications in health and environmental sciences. Her current research focus on understanding host-microbiome interactions in the oral cavity.
