Biotechnology Engineer | Computational Bioprocesses & In-Silico Molecular Design
Founder & Chief Bioengineer at Elevate Biotech • Research Lead at Agromanper
Ambato, Ecuador 🇪🇨
Biotechnology Engineer graduated from Universidad Técnica de Ambato (UTA), specialized in bridging wet-lab bioprocess kinetics, molecular biophysics, and reproducible computational engineering.
Founder of Elevate Biotech, pioneering pre-clinical in-silico screening of bioregulatory peptides and cellular longevity molecules, coupled with industrial bioprocess scale-up pipelines (20 L pilot to 200 L industrial reactors).
- 🔬 In-Silico Peptide Discovery & ADMET: Biophysical property calculation (pI bisection, GRAVY, hydrophobic moment
$\mu_H$ ), alanine scanning mutagenesis, 8 MEROPS protease cleavage profiling, semi-classical PBPK plasma$t_{1/2}$ modeling, and multi-omic API integration (UniProt, AlphaFold DB, ChEMBL). - ⚙️ Bioprocess Engineering & Gray-Box PINNs: Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PyTorch) embedding coupled non-linear ODEs (dual Monod, Pirt, Luedeking-Piret, oxygen
$k_L a$ transfer), non-linear ML ($R^2 > 0.99$ ), and pilot-to-industrial scale-up (20 L to 200 L). - 📊 Telemetry & Automated GMP Reporting: Interactive SCADA telemetry dashboards (Streamlit / Plotly) and 300-DPI automated PDF technical dossiers with ReportLab Platypus.
- 🤖 Autonomous Multi-Agent Systems: Declarative CrewAI architectures for peer-reviewed scientific literature synthesis, publication-grade analytical plot generation, and academic networking.
