In recent years, Dr. Ruymán Santana Farré's professional experience has been marked by his leadership of the Nutrition Department and his membership of the Final Degree Project Committee of the Fernando Pessoa Canarias University (UFPC). In this field, he has focused his research on the area of oxidative stress (being the principal investigator of the functional foods research group of the UFPC), molecular biology, and the study of neurological diseases, collaborating with the staff of the Doctor Negrín Hospital in Gran Canaria and with different areas of the Fernando Pessoa Canarias University in the elaboration of different works that have already resulted in one publication in an indexed journal and a second publication currently in process of review by the editors. In addition, he has seven publications in high impact journals in the field of molecular biology, extensive experience in multiple laboratory techniques, and two stays in Stockholm at the Centre for Molecular Medicine of the Karolinska Institutet.

Nisa Buset holds degrees in Cell and Molecular Biology and Health Biology. She earned a European PhD in Medical and Surgical Sciences, which was awarded the Premio Extraordinario de Doctorado by the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC). She has extensive experience in research projects involving cellular or animal models and human s. Within these projects, she has developed and applied a wide range of experimental techniques, including basic animal surgery, cell culture, pedigree analysis, immunocytochemistry, protein quantification, RT-PCR, gene expression interference, nitrate-nitrite determination, quantification of reactive oxygen species, and lipid peroxidation, among others. She currently carries out her research and teaching activities at the Universidad Fernando Pessoa Canarias.

Mussa Makran is a researcher with a PhD in Food Science who specializes in the bioactivity of foods, nutraceuticals, and bioactive compounds. His research focuses on their antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cytoprotective effects in both cellular and animal models. Dr. Makran uses a range of advanced techniques, including qPCR, Western blot, ELISA, immunofluorescence, and flow cytometry, to investigate molecular mechanisms and cellular responses to these bioactive compounds. His work also explores the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of these compounds during in vitro digestion, offering insights into their potential therapeutic applications. Additionally, Dr. Makran is skilled in conducting phytochemical analysis via chromatography. His interdisciplinary approach bridges food science with health, with a particular focus on developing functional foods and nutraceuticals for disease prevention and management.
