Ana Catarina Silva Föreläsare

COO and Co-founder
Akira Science

I am a senior executive and operator in life sciences and healthtech with a background in organic chemistry, bringing more than 15 years of experience across diagnostics, MedTech, product development, quality, and operations. My professional journey has been shaped by one clear mission: turning innovation into real-world healthcare impact.
I am passionate about connecting science, strategy, and people, whether by supporting product development, helping startups navigate regulatory and operational complexity, or contributing to ventures that can truly improve patient care.
Today, as Co-Founder and COO of Akira Science, I am focused on building solutions that address critical unmet needs in healthcare, particularly in women’s health after breast cancer surgery, while also contributing to early-stage companies as a board member and strategic advisor.
