Drawing on two decades of supply-chain leadership and entrepreneurial success, he now deploys AI platforms that make lifesaving therapies reachable for patients everywhere.

​

  • Role: Director of the Bioethics Program at Santa Clara University and Senior Lecturer in biotech & AI ethics at MIT

  • Scale of impact: Orchestrated AI-powered supply chains that delivered medicines to 2.3 billion+ patients in 113 countries, while advising Fortune 500 boards and federal agencies

  • Research focus: Generative AI, natural-language processing, and predictive analytics that shorten drug-development timelines and expand global access to treatment

Born in rural Mexico with severe hemophilia, Guadalupe nearly died at 12 when an appendix rupture sent him bleeding out on the operating table—only to be revived after an eight-hour ambulance ride. His family then immigrated to California with little money or English, driving hours for every specialist visit and relying on a local Hemophilia Association for lifesaving care. This early brush with death and firsthand experience of healthcare inequity ignited his lifelong mission to make quality care accessible to all.
