Dr M Ángeles Rabadán, Founder and Chief Executive Officer ZENEUROID is pioneering the development of innovative therapies for neuropathic and neurodegenerative diseases, offering a groundbreaking neuroid technology. Their advanced 3D cultures of interconnected neuroids mimic neuronal networks, surpassing traditional methods and enabling non-invasive, animal-free studies across diverse disorders. By combining genetic and cellular bioengineering with human reprogramming technologies, they accurately model patient genetic profiles. Initially focused on epilepsy, schizophrenia, and Parkinson’s disease, the company plans to expand to autism, Alzheimer’s, and rare diseases. Currently supported by ZeLife Enterprises, ZENEUROID strives to excel as a Contract Research Organization (CRO), serving biotech, pharma, and academic institutions to advance research and treatment development in neurological diseases. The company will provide cellular reprogramming, neural differentiation, and drug screening services. Dr Rabadan is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Zeneuroid. She holds a diverse academic background in Cell Biology, Developmental biology, Neurobiology, and Genetics, having held several positions at leading international research institutions, including the University College of London, the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, Columbia University and the Biology and Molecular Institute of Barcelona (CSIC). As part of her research, she has focused on developing innovative in vitro methodologies to advance the understanding of human brain function having gained deep insights into organoids and human stem cell research. Her groundbreaking work led to the creation of novel modular neuronal networks, accurately replicating the functional and structural complexities of the brain, resulting in a patented tool in 2019, which formed the base of ZENEUROID”s technology. Dr Rabadan holds a PhD from the Biology and Molecular Institute of Barcelona (CSIC). She has published 15 publications, and her research has garnered widespread recognition, having been featured in numerous international conferences, often as an invited speaker.
