Dr. Pedro Dias leads interdisciplinary initiatives that integrate lived experience with clinical and research collaboration to develop evidence-based programs and media projects exploring human performance under constraint.
Dr. Pedro Dias is a neuroscientist and endurance athlete working at the intersection of science, physical performance, and Type 1 diabetes.
He holds a PhD in Neuroscience and Pharmacology and has conducted research at leading academic institutions including University College London, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Technical University Munich, publishing in top-tier scientific journals including Science, Nature, Cell, Neuron, and Current Biology.
Alongside his academic work, Pedro worked in biotech, where he led multidisciplinary research teams developing treatments for human disease, overseeing projects valued at over €500M and contributing to the growth of a company recognized among the world’s top early-stage biotech firms.
Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in early adulthood, Pedro is also an Ironman athlete. His lived experience informs his work, but does not define it, serving instead as a lens through which he explores human performance, physiological variability, and resilience under constraint.
