Summary
Fernando Pozo is a Chief Operating Officer and AI-driven bioinformatics leader with a decade of experience turning advanced machine learning into clinical and defense-ready products. He built and deployed one of the community-used models for functional protein annotation (cited in large genome projects) and has led EU-funded HealthTech and DefenseTech programs, including an EIC Accelerator arrhythmia-prediction project. A PhD-trained bioinformatician from CNIO, he has pioneered machine learning in healthcare education in Spain and regularly teaches at multiple universities. Appointed by Spain’s Ministry of Defense to advise NATO on Explainable AI for complex autonomous systems, he blends hands-on ML engineering, regulatory implementation (ISO-13485, IEC 62304, ISO-27001), and operational leadership. Equally comfortable in research, open-source code on GitHub, and scaling startups internationally, he often sits at the intersection of genomics, clinical translation, and trustworthy AI.
