Melissa Paola Mezzari, Ph.D.'s Linkedin Analytics

As a Ph.D. Environmental Engineer & Scientist, I bridge environmental sustainability, human health biotechnology, and the rapidly evolving FemTech sector—transforming complex science into real-world impact. With 20+ years leading initiatives from research to commercialization, I specialize in translating cutting-edge insights into actionable, scalable solutions. Currently, as Senior Bioeconomy Consultant & Director of Microbiome Innovation at YON E Global, I deliver systems-level strategies to address today’s most pressing environmental and women’s health challenges. What I Do Best: 1) Lead Environmental & Bioeconomy Programs: Strategic guidance in bioeconomy, biofuel/biotech project management, environmental remediation (phyto/bioremediation), and decarbonization research (LEC Partners, Frontiers in Climate). 2) Pioneer FemTech & Microbiome Innovation: As featured in my recent articles, I explore the intersection of microbiome science and FemTech—driving digital health solutions that empower women, address gender health inequities, and close persistent data gaps in women’s health. My leadership at YON E Global focuses on developing technologies for precision medicine, maternal health, and preventive care, and advocating for inclusive, culturally sensitive digital health innovations. 3) Master Complex Data & Systems: Expertise in analyzing and integrating environmental, genomic, and clinical datasets to inform project direction, honed through academic research and industry consulting. My cross-disciplinary background equips me to solve complex problems and deliver biological solutions across sectors. I have a proven track record in research, publication (including >50 peer-reviewed articles), project management, and international collaboration (Fulbright Scholar, European internship, Brazilian doctorate scholarship). I’m passionate about collaborating with forward-thinking organizations and investors who value deep expertise and systems thinking to achieve ambitious sustainability and women’s health goals.
