Gerard Rubí-Sans, PhD

Gerard Rubí-Sans, PhD has a diverse work experience in the field of bioengineering. Gerard started their career at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) as a Final Graduate Project where they worked on biomimetic hydrogels for tissue engineering. From there, they went on to complete a student internship at Vall d’Hebron Institute of Research (VHIR) where they learned about flow cytometry. Gerard then returned to IBEC for their PhD studies, focusing on the development of a three-dimensional colorectal cancer model to study cell-extracellular matrix interactions and identify potential therapeutic targets. During this time, they also worked as a research assistant. Later, Gerard joined IQS Barcelona as a Teaching Assistant, where they taught students the basics of mammalian cell cultures. Gerard also completed a Master Thesis Project on the development of a 3D bioengineered platform for application in cartilage tissue engineering. Finally, they worked at MiNK Therapeutics as an Associate Scientist, although the duration of this role is not specified. Overall, Gerard Rubí-Sans, PhD has a strong background in bioengineering with expertise in tissue engineering, cancer research, and cell culture techniques.

Gerard Rubí-Sans, PhD, has a strong educational background in the field of biomedical engineering and bioengineering. In 2010, they began their education at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, where they earned their Bachelor's Degree in Biological systems engineering in 2014. Following this, they pursued further specialization by obtaining a Master's Degree in Bioengineering from IQS Barcelona from 2014 to 2016.

The year 2017 marked an important milestone in Gerard's education as they completed the "Curso de Formación de Personal Investigador Usuario de Animales de Experimentación" at the Generalitat de Catalunya, becoming certified in the use of experimental animals for research purposes. Additionally, in the same year, they completed the "Introduction to the Biology of Cancer" course at John Hopkins University, earning a certificate from Coursera.

Building on their previous achievements, Gerard continued their academic journey at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, enrolling in a Doctor of Philosophy program in Biomedical Engineering. Gerard pursued their doctoral studies from 2017 to 2020, ultimately earning their PhD.

In 2022, Gerard further expanded their knowledge and skills by participating in two online certificate programs offered by Harvard Medical School. Gerard completed the HMX Fundamentals/Pro online certificate program in Immuno-oncology, followed by another program focusing on Immunology.

Through their dedication to education and their strong background in biomedical engineering, Gerard Rubí-Sans, PhD, has established himself as a knowledgeable and skilled professional in their field.
