My name is Pau Anta-Clusella, I am a life scientist passionate about exploring what can be created at the intersection of biotechnology and engineering.

At age 13, I was featured in a documentary on biohacking, produced by Japan’s NHK. At age 14, I designed and built a low-cost deep-sea drop camera capable of operating at depths of up to 500 m. At 15, I began developing synthetic spider silk with electrical conductivity, and I had the privilege of presenting both projects at different Global Community Bio Summits hosted by the MIT Media Lab.

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology at Imperial College London. As part of my academic program, I am doing a year-long research placement at the Center for iPS Cell Research and Application (CiRA), Kyoto University, with the Osafune Lab.

Outside the lab, I enjoy playing water polo, chess, and reading comics.
