I'm Maria Loureiro
I bridge two worlds: building AI systems that accelerate drug discovery while connecting healthcare executives with emerging talent to implement responsible innovation.
About Me
I'm a Machine Learning Engineer at Loka, developing AI systems that accelerate drug discovery, helping develop drugs quicker and at lower costs to democratize access. I also co-design executive innovation programs at GenH, facilitating dialogue between senior pharmaceutical leaders and young professionals.
As a member of the Global Shapers Community, I lead digital upskilling initiatives for high school students from underrepresented communities.
This portfolio brings together my work at the intersection of technical AI development and healthcare leadership transformation.
