The P-BIO Podcast is produced by P-BIO, the association representing biotechnology and life sciences companies in Portugal, and gives voice to the founders, researchers and executives driving the sector forward.
Our CEO Dina Pereira and our CSO Ana Clara Cristóvão, cofounders of NeuroSoV, are the guests of episode 23.
P-BIO Podcast · Episode 23 · November 6, 2026 Dina Pereira, CEO, and Ana Clara Cristóvão, CSO, NeuroSoVIn the conversation, they share how NeuroSoV started as a spin-out of the University of Beira Interior and how we are developing therapies to slow the progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease.
They also present the science behind our work: a candidate molecule, protected by patents in several geographies, that selectively inhibits NOX1 and NOX4, two enzymes involved in the oxidative stress that drives neurodegeneration. While current treatments ease the symptoms, our goal is to act on the progression of the disease itself.
The episode goes on to the role of the UBImedical incubator in our journey, what it takes to establish a new biotechnology company, and the challenges of securing funding for research, particularly in the pharmaceutical field, closing with a look at the potential of biotechnology across Portugal.
