Laura Bernáez Timón
Fellow - Neurotechnology
Laura examines the technological advancements driving neurotechnology adoption, assessing innovation, market trends, and integration challenges to predict their path toward widespread societal use.
Soon to complete her Ph.D. in Computational Neuroscience at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research, Laura has specialized in the intersection of neuroscience, physics, and technology.
Alongside her academic work, she has gained experience at two start-ups in neurotechnology and biotech. She has also been actively involved in medical innovation through her work with MIT and Catalyst Europe, exploring the synergies between emerging technologies and societal needs.
An advocate for interdisciplinarity and multi-stakeholder engagement, she has co-organized several hackathon-style workshops that bring together academics and industry leaders from neuroscience, AI, and bioengineering to address challenges in neurotechnologies.
Laura holds an M.Sc. in Physics of Condensed Matter and Biological Systems from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and a B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid.
