About Luís Bastos

My elevator pitch (3 words vs.): nanotech improving life.

My elevator pitch (extended vs.): I want to change the world through science and technology (in general) and through nanoscience, nanotechnology and nanomedicine (in particular), making it better for us all and for our descendants. I believe strongly in a world with equal access to health care, with much less poverty, with more opportunities for a better life, with more sustainability and with a better environment.I work in the field of strategic consulting since the end of 2003. I am positioned on the field of Nano-Bio convergence, with focus on nanomedicine. However my skills extend from life science to nanotechnology.

 I work with full passion: with my Mind, my Heat and my Soul. I find nanoscience and nanotechnology in general and nanomedicine in particular absolutely fascinating.

 My experience stands on academic knowledge but also on accumulated knowledge over years, in the daily practice of my profession.

 I am the kind of professional that has a constant attitude of constant absorption of knowledge and self-improvement.

 I visualize the mistakes I made ​​as valuable opportunities for my self-improvement. Therefore, I am able to advise my clients not to commit many errors.

Follow some of my preferred quotes about mistakes:
"An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made, in a narrow field."
Niels Bohr

"A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new." 
Albert Einstein

“If you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original.”
Sir Ken Robinson

"It is in the admission of ignorance and the admission of uncertainty that there is a hope for the continuous motion of human beings in some direction that doesn't get confined, permanently blocked, as it has so many times before in various periods in the history of man."
Richard P. Feynman

"Successes teach you nothing. Failures teach you everything. Making mistakes is the most important thing you can do."
James Dyson

"Negative results are just what I want. They’re just as valuable to me as positive results. I can never find the thing that does the job best until I find the ones that don’t."
Thomas A. Edison 

 "Mistakes are the portals of discovery."
James Joyce


"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do."
Steve Jobs, Apple

I implemented some personal projects, of which I highlight:
I am also co-manager of Nanotechnology in Drug Delivery (abbreviation: NDD), by kind invitation of the owner of this Group, Rajesh Patil, Ph.D. NDD is a fast growing Group on LinkedIn® professional networking services, with a fast growing impact on the community of NDD and nanomedicine professionals, worldwide.

I created three groups on LinkedIn® professional networking services  dedicated to specific fields:


Many more personal projects are currently in my mind and will be released gradually.

I live in Almada (near Lisbon), Portugal.

Portugal is my Country of origin, the Country where I grew up and where I live. I have within me the collective memory and the genetic heritage that characterizes the Portuguese People and my Ancestors.

 Business Ethics and Transparency are sacred to me.
In my lexicon, Collaboration means Remunerated Work.
