I’m a scientist with 10+ years of experience of antibody and protein engineering, biophysical characterization, and in silico biologics design. I founded OlamAb to give biotech startups and drug discovery teams the same cutting-edge expertise and computational power normally found only in large R&D organizations—delivered with the speed and flexibility you need to stay ahead.

I hold a Pharmacy degree and a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Barcelona, where my research at IRB Barcelona and the Institut Européen de Chimie et Biologie combined NMR, native Mass Spectrometry, and ion mobility to unravel the structure of membrane-associated amyloid beta oligomers. That early work cemented my deep understanding of protein structure, aggregation, and molecular interaction.

From there, I earned an EMBO Postdoctoral Fellowship to join Scripps Research in California under Prof. Dennis Burton, studying antibody responses to HIV and SARS-CoV-2. I developed computational proteogenomic profiling tools and uncovered the key parameters that make antibodies highly effective at triggering ADCC and ADCP.

At Vertex Pharmaceuticals, I expanded into membrane protein engineering, cryo-EM, and high-throughput screening—integrating proteomics and machine learning into pipelines that accelerate discovery. Most recently, I joined Valora Therapeutics, to help set up the protein engineering capabilities to design novel biologic formats, and in silico developability assessment—leveraging tools like AlphaFold, RFdiffusion, and GROMACS for structure prediction, molecular dynamics, and AI-guided design.

What I offer through OlamAb is not just technical skill, but strategic insight:

• AI-driven and diffusion model–based design to de-risk early candidates

• Rapid humanization and developability profiling to reduce failure rates

• Bespoke protein engineering solutions from mAbs and bispecifics to novel modalities

My mission is simple: help you turn bold ideas into optimized, validated biologic candidates—faster and with higher probability of success.
