Gloria Fuentes

Education Director

Gloria Fuentes has been volunteering with the GNSI for several years in conference roles and is thrilled to bring her energy and enthusiasm to the Education Director position on the Board. She studied Organic and Physical Chemistry and holds a PhD in Molecular Biology and Enzymology.

However, most of her scientific career she has been working at the intersection of Structural Computational Biology and Biomedicine. Her life as a researcher has taken her to different countries as diverse as the UK, The Netherlands, Spain, Singapore and Japan. These experiences have given her an eclectic way of understanding her science and life. 

After her maternity leave, she decided to make some changes as well in her professional life and dove into the illustration and animation world to combine her fascination for science with her passion for more artistic avenues. She committed herself to solving the scientific communication problem between her former peers and society. Her motto is: “Let’s unleash creativity to bridge the gap between science and society. If I can illustrate it, you can understand it.”
