Marina Saiz Alía, PhD

About

I’m a biomedical engineer with a background in neurotechnology, focused on bridging data science, neuroscience, and clinical applications. Over 12+ years, I’ve worked across academia and industry, including an MSc and PhD at Imperial College London, developing expertise in time-series analysis, statistics, machine learning, and computational methods applied to biomedical data (EEG, MRI, CT, PET). I was awarded the La Caixa Fellowship and received Best MSc and PhD thesis awards. At INBRAIN Neuroelectronics, I progressed from Biomedical Data Scientist to Translational Science Team Lead, where I lead preclinical and early clinical research for neurostimulation technologies. My work spans study design, execution, and analysis, from early feasibility and GLP studies to first-in-human clinical research, in collaboration with clinicians, researchers, and data teams under MDR and GCP frameworks. I also serve as an Expert Evaluator for the European Commission, reviewing funding proposals in neurotechnology, neuroimaging, and computational neuroscience. I value clarity, collaboration, and open science, and focus on turning complex data into meaningful clinical insight and impact.
