She has always been surrounded by innovation and the future, leading her to participate into a student contest about synthetic biology. It was watching a TV programme about deep-sea bioluminescent creatures that she had the idea to use those super-powers to revolutionise the way we illuminate our cities, keeping an optimistic but realistic vision on the mutation of energy models for tomorrow. Sandra co-founded Glowee which develops a biological lighting system that works thanks to the natural properties of bacteria to revolutionise the way we produce, consume and illuminate. Glowee has received funding from the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) InnoEnergy programme.
