About me

Rafael Herena García is the founder and manager of Blueming S.L. He holds a degree in Marine Sciences and a Master's in Industrial Biotechnology. With a strong professional background, he worked as a biotechnologist for prominent companies such as Feyecon B.V. (Netherlands) and C2circle B.V. In 2014, he began his research career with a European Research Council (ERC) PhD student scholarship as part of an ERC-funded project under the FP7 framework at the Waterford Institute of Technology (Ireland). During his doctoral studies, he published two PCT patents with global coverage, providing a practical foundation for his bioreactor designs.

In 2017, he returned to the Netherlands and served as R&D manager at the forensic chemistry company M.M.C. B.V. until 2020, leading a team of seven people. Together, they created a new forensic analysis unit, a technology that is now commercially available, and he published another patent. Most recently, in 2022, he made his latest contribution to the field of biotechnology with a publication in the prestigious Scientific Reports journal by Nature.

Furthermore, in 2024, Rafael published Blueming’s most significant patent to date (ES2958142A1), showcasing a groundbreaking technology in water analysis and sustainable resource management.
