Nadia joined the Harbert Institute team in November 2022. Her role on the team is to commercialize UAB’s innovative ideas by developing marketing campaigns and sharing UAB research with interested companies. Nadia received her B.S. and M.S. in Mexico from the Autonomous University of Baja California Sur and The Northwestern Center of Biological Research, respectively. After moving to the United States, she completed her MBA at the University of Pittsburgh, with a focus on business strategy and operations.
Before moving to Birmingham, she held intern positions at both the Innovation Institute at the University of Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh Life Science Greenhouse.
