Fábio Fiúza Rosa, PhD, is Head of Research and co-founder of Asgard Therapeutics. With a double PhD in Experimental Biology and Biomedicine by the University of Coimbra (Portugal) and Lund University (Sweden), Fábio pioneered the use of cell reprogramming to induce dendritic cell fate in vivo. Fábio has filed 5 patents and won over 15 awards. He leads R&D activities focused on harnessing dendritic cell reprogramming technologies for cancer immunotherapy. Fabio’s ambition is to expand the reach of dendritic cell reprogramming to develop novel immunotherapies for the benefit of patients with solid tumors.
