EDWIN ORTEGA ARZOLA
My passion for improving human health at its root inspired my initial pursuit of a degree in Molecular Biology. Through my subsequent experience in the pharmaceutical industry, I realised that many healthcare challenges are intertwined with political, commercial, and lifestyle factors. This revelation steered my focus towards sustainability—seeking ways to promote living standards that benefit our health and the planet.
This shift in focus was further solidified after publishing my paper, 'The Minimum Energy to Build a Cell'. The insights gained from this research highlighted the potential for optimising biological systems for essential applications such as agriculture and waste treatment, simultaneously addressing environmental and health issues.
Motivated by these discoveries, I am preparing to embark on a PhD journey aligning with my projects and background. This next step is not just a continuation of my academic pursuits but a strategic move to deepen my impact in synthetic biology and sustainable living. By integrating advanced scientific research with practical sustainability solutions, I aim to lead initiatives that foster healthier lives and a healthier planet.
My professional journey in biotechnology and healthcare began shortly after completing my bachelor's degree at Universita Degli Studi di Cagliari and receiving my degree from Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM). Upon returning to Mexico, I embarked on a career as a copywriter, developing campaigns for pharmaceutical companies, including Roche, Novartis, AbbVie, and Pfizer. My role evolved into that of a Medical Manager, where I guided the development of marketing strategies that not only blended scientific insight with creative execution but also drove significant business growth. I later transitioned towards coordinating medical events and gathering real-world data, further enhancing my expertise in medical consultancy. This experience provided a solid foundation for my subsequent ventures into more direct biotechnological applications and market expansion strategies within Latin America.
I offer strategic market entry services, biotechnological solutions, and expert guidance on sustainable practices, ensuring tailored and data-driven success for new ventures. Due to my expertise, I focus on developing sustainable biotechnological solutions. I am working on offering personalised liquid food to substitute a meal of the day. Through a Cleo Green project, I want to advocate for and implement self-sustainable living technologies.
Beyond my professional endeavours, my personal journey is marked by a passion for mountaineering. I have summited Mont Blanc and have set my sights on other major peaks. Additionally, I am actively pursuing a pilot license in search of new challenges and perspectives. This blend of professional achievements and personal aspirations underscores my commitment to pushing boundaries, whether in scientific research, healthcare markets, or the literal peaks of the world.
