Rooted in the South, innovating for the world.
Aquabiotics Sur was born in the heart of the Los Lagos Region in southern Chile, a territory known for its pristine fjords and thriving aquaculture industry. We recognized a paradox: while the mussel industry is a major economic driver, it also generates significant volumes of liquid waste that are currently discarded.
We saw this not as waste, but as an untapped reservoir of valuable marine biomolecules. Our team of biologists and engineers came together with a single mission: to lead the Blue Circular Economy through marine biotechnology.
To lead the Blue Circular Economy by sanitizing our coasts, replacing synthetics with sustainable purity, and positioning Patagonia as a global hub for biotech innovation.
To be the global leader in upcycled marine metabolites, setting the standard for circular economy and biotech excellence from the heart of Patagonia.
Strategic operations in Los Lagos Region, Chile—the hub of the Chilean mussel industry.
CEO | Biotechnologist | Sustainable Bioprocess Development | Scientific Strategy
Scientific & Strategic Lead
Specialized in sustainable bioprocess design, industrial microbiology, and science-driven innovation. His work is grounded in the integration of molecular biology, biochemical engineering, and circular economy principles to transform environmental challenges into scalable, high-value biological solutions.
With experience in research, industrial biotechnology, and project management, he brings a structured and evidence-based approach to innovation. His professional background spans applied microbiology, bioprocess optimization, water systems, quality standards, and scientific technical writing. He combines analytical rigor with execution capability, ensuring that scientific concepts move beyond laboratory potential into commercially viable systems.
At Aquabiotics Sur, he plays a key role in the scientific and strategic development of the company’s blue circular biorefinery model. His focus centers on the design and validation of organic bio-mining processes that transform industrial side-streams from the Patagonian mussel industry into high-purity, traceable, marine-derived bioactive compounds. His work supports the transition from extractive models to regenerative, value-added marine biotechnology.
Key Contributions:
His vision aligns with positioning Chilean Patagonia as a global reference in sustainable marine biotech. He is particularly driven by the opportunity to replace petrochemical-derived ingredients with biologically upcycled alternatives that preserve ecosystem integrity while generating economic value.
Beyond operational development, he brings a systems-thinking mindset to the organization. He views marine biotechnology not as a single-product endeavor but as a platform for long-term regenerative industry transformation. His work reflects a commitment to scientific integrity, environmental stewardship, and scalable impact.
At Aquabiotics Sur, he represents the integration of deep scientific understanding with pragmatic execution — ensuring that innovation is measurable, traceable, and globally competitive.
