My organisation

Founded in 2021, Lxbio Pharmaceuticals is a Portuguese biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development of next-generation biological therapies. The company operates at the intersection of bacteriophage science and antibody engineering, with a primary focus on antimicrobial resistant (AMR) infections and targeted oncology, while selectively expanding into immune-mediated diseases with high unmet medical need. Lxbio’s pipeline is anchored in two core platforms: bacteriophage-based therapeutics and antibody–phage conjugates. The latter are designed to enable substantially higher payload capacity compared to conventional antibody-drug conjugates, offering a differentiated approach for difficult-to-treat cancers, where therapeutic intensity and targeted delivery remain limiting factors. Lxbio maintains a specialized R&D capability supporting biologics discovery and early development, including antibody generation and translational strategy. This integrated model accelerates the progression of assets from preclinical validation to clinical readiness, reinforcing the company’s ability to translate scientific innovation into viable therapeutic candidates. Lxbio collaborates with academic institutions, biotechnology partners, and public-sector initiatives across Europe to advance its programs within pragmatic and scientifically robust development pathways. The company’s approach is grounded in disciplined execution and a clear objective: to deliver clinically meaningful, scalable solutions in areas where current therapeutic options remain insufficient. The company also provides antibody discovery services through its CRO arm, Lxbio AB. This part of the company specializes in advancing therapeutic and research antibody development, offering end-to-end antibody discovery, engineering and characterization services. From automated high-throughput screening to advanced cell line development, Lxbio AB leverages cutting-edge tools and methodologies to deliver scalable, high-quality antibody solutions tailored to your project.

About me

I am a business-oriented scientist who built deep expertise in protein engineering and antibody discovery through an international Ph.D. and through work at two biotechnology companies. My scientific background gave me the tools to adapt to unpredictable situations, to think critically and to work hard both inside a team or in a more independent way in order to achieve the best results possible. I am passionate about blending business with science and I am a very dedicated and motivated person with great interest in learning and experiencing new things. I am always looking forward to new challenges and I am highly adaptable to different cultures, lifestyles and working styles, since I have lived and worked in five different countries.
