I am also involved in philantropic and educational ventures. At my current position at Fundació Bosch i Gimpera my mission is to transform the world-class research at University of Barcelona into projects that benefit the society as a whole. In 2014 I joined the world-class team at HIVACAT and co-founded AELIX Therapeutics, aimed to develop immunotherapies to cure HIV infection globally. AELIX raised 11.5 m € in 2016 from several international investors. Co-Founder and Scientific Advisor at Genocosmetics, where I conceptualized the idea of personalized cosmetics based on the genetic profile of the customer in 2011. (www.genocosmetics.com)
