Biotech governance expert, foresight practitioner, and NGFP Fellow based in Mexico City. 

Currently Chief Futurist at Convergente Lab and Executive Director at Allbiotech.  Formerly iGEM Foundation Director for Synthetic Biology Ecosystems. I have spent the last few years designing and implementing policy training programs for the Global South in collaboration with UNU-BIOLAC. 

I define myself as a Biofuturist working at the intersection of foresight, policy, and biology. My work focuses on "Biologizing the Future", shifting our technological paradigms towards systems that integrate with, rather than dominate, biological processes.

I explore the concept of the "Green Mirror", a protopian counter-narrative to "Black Mirror". Instead of dystopian collapse, I focus on how emerging biotechnologies, if governed with anticipation and wisdom, can regenerate ecosystems and societies. I am currently operationalizing these visions through Convergente Lab, a think tank designing strategies for the public interest, and as a 2025 Next Generation Foresight Practitioners (NGFP) Fellow.

I am currently transitioning from ecosystem building to high-level governance strategy. I am looking for collaborators and feedback on:

• Scaling BioXPol: I am seeking partners and funders interested in expanding our policymaker training curriculum to other regions in the Global South to mitigate GCBRs (Global Catastrophic Biological Risks).
• Convergente Lab Strategies: I value critical feedback on our "Green Mirror" policy frameworks and how to better align them with global long-termist priorities.
• Empowering the Next Gen: Through Allbiotech, I am always looking for mentors and resources to support the next wave of Latin American talent in biotechnology.

If you are researching or working on Biosecurity, Pandemic Preparedness, or Governance of Emerging Tech, here is what I bring to the table:

• Global South Context (LatAm): I can provide "on-the-ground" data and nuanced perspectives on the regulatory and cultural landscape of biotechnology in Latin America, a region often neglected in global risk analysis.
• Capacity Building & Education: I have extensive experience designing training programs for non-experts. I currently lead BioXPol, a program training policymakers and diplomats (UNU-BIOLAC) on governing synthetic biology and biorisks.
• Strategic Foresight: I can help you or your org apply futures thinking and scenario design to stress-test your theories of change against plausible biological futures.
