Sara Abalde-Cela, PHD, Chief Technology Officer, RUBYnanomed
Dr Sara Abalde-Cela is a co-founder and CTO of the start-up RUBYnanomed (2018 – now), having raised more than 5 million € to date. She has participated in different start-up programs internationally (Cambridge, London, Boston, Vigo, and Braga). In the course of her academic career, Sara received research awards and recognitions, as well as attracted +6 million € in competitive international and European funding as a PI, such as Pathfinder, FET Open or RIA/IA Actions. Sara holds and PhD in Physical Chemistry with specialisation in nanotechnology (Universidade de Vigo, Spain, 2013) and postdoctoral experience at the University of Cambridge (UK, 2013-2016). In 2017 she joined the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory in Braga (Portugal) to develop technologies in the interface of nanosensors, microfluidics and single cancer cell studies. Despite having had some exposure to entrepreneurship both in Vigo (Spain) and Cambridge (UK), it was as a results of research and innovation developed at INL that she embarked as co-founder of the women led company RUBYnanomed, incorporated in 2018. Since then, RUBYnanomed won several national and international prizes in innovation and acceleration programmes, such as the Royal Society of Chemistry Emerging Technologies Competition in the category of Health, London, UK (2019) or the Elevator Pitch Competition (EPiC), organised by Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation in 2020. Highlighted competitive funding that Sara won as CTO of RUBYnanomed during these past years are the prestigious La Caixa Impulse Consolidate in 2020 and the EIC Accelerator in 2021.
