Julia Sepulveda is Deputy CEO | Innovation Unit at Elvesys.

Today, she manages the Innovation team at Elvesys, monitors the progress of multiple collaborative projects, as well as risk detection/prevention. She also coordinates the R&I topics to align them with the strategy, philosophy and vision of Elvesys’ brand Elveflow, as well as with the needs of the end users.

Julia Sepulveda’s experience:

• 2019: International Partnership Leader, Elvesys
  • Coordination of innovative project proposals implicating a microfluidic solution for current research problems using our proprietary instruments and internal know-how on flow management, aiming at lowering the barriers for the implementation of microfluidics by non-experienced researchers.
  • Management of PhD students and Post Doctoral fellows in the context of collaborative projects funded by the European commission, i.e. Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions (Innovative Training Networks and Individual Fellowships).
  • Contact and establishment of new international collaborations with researchers from academia and industry.

• 2018: Collaborative research & innovation manager, Elvesys
  • Contact and establishment of new international collaborations with researchers from academia and industry with the aim of bringing innovative microfluidic solutions to current problems in diverse fields, including medical, environmental, chemical, among others. These solutions include for example organ-on-chip and lab-on-chip  systems.
  • Management of multiple European projects at the company level (as partners). Tasks include discussions with the consortia, meeting deliverables and milestones on time, and technical advisorship, mostly at the interface of microfluidics and biology or biochemistry.

• 2.5-years post-doctoral fellowship on mechanisms of pathogenic protein cross-seeding in neurodegenerative disorders using animal models (JPND, CrossSeeds project) (Brain and Spine Institute, Paris).
• 2-years post doctoral fellowship on new cell-based models of neuroinflammation for drug screening, particularly for Parkinson’s disease (Brain and Spine Institute, Paris)
• Technology transfer engineer (Université Paris-Est Créteil)
• PhD in cell biology, glycobiology (biology of complex sugars in the extracellular matrix) and neurodegenerative diseases related to protein malfunction (proteinopathies, e.g. Alzheimer’s disease) (Université Paris-Est Créteil)
• Master in Biochemistry (Mexico)
• Chemical Engineering degree (Mexico)
