POLYMATH
Dr. Martins is a polymath, a researcher, an entrepreneur, a public speaker, and a life and health extension advocate. As a polymath, Dr. Martins usually likes to make use of different subject areas, drawing ideas and concepts from different bodies of knowledge to solve specific problems. As an illustrative example, some of his published papers involve several fields of research, including: neuroscience, nanotechnology, nanomedicine, nanorobotics, computer science, and others. Several educational experiences have supported and nurtured Dr. Martins’s polymath approach to problems.
RESEARCHER
As a researcher, Dr. Martins is interested in technological developments with potential to solve humanity’s most challenging problems in healthcare, education, work, humanity’s existential risks, among others. Dr. Martins is currently focused on developing technologies which will hopefully have a significant impact on human healthy life extension. Dr. Martins’s research work was featured in the world’s media, including: Fox News Channel, New York Post, The SUN, Daily Mail, Irish Times, Science Daily, The Times of India, National Geography Poland, among other worldwide media. Dr. Martins is currently an affiliated researcher at CREA at the University of California Berkeley, in the United States. Between 2016 and 2019, Dr. Martins was an affiliated researcher at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, LBNL, in the United States. Dr. Martins’s most recently published paper, published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience, has more views than 99% of all Frontiers articles, and is currently the most viewed paper on Frontiers of Neuroscience, section Neural Technology. The journal Frontiers in Neuroscience is the world’s most cited journal in the field of neuroscience. Dr. Martins’s scientific work has involved collaborations with worldwide universities, including the University of California San Diego, University of Miami, Duke University, Moscow State Medical University, Purdue University, Monash University, Institute for Molecular Manufacturing, among others.
ENTREPRENEUR
In business, Dr. Martins created his own company to fund his education. Along the way, several academic awards and grants contributed to his necessary funding strategy. Dr. Martins is a board member of the board of directors of several organisations and companies. One of those organisations has contributed with more than 100 million in funding for scientific research during the last decades. Dr. Martins also assumes the responsibility of several financial fiduciary roles for high net worth individuals and organizations.
HEALTHY LIFE EXTENSIONIST
On healthy life-extension related topics, Dr. Martins is a board member of the board of directors of life extension related organisations and companies. Early in his life, motivated to take control of his own health Dr. Martins decided to make several courses related to healthcare, body training and nutrition.
PUBLIC SPEAKER
As a public speaker, Dr. Martins has participated in several international major conferences attended my thousands of participants. In those international conferences Dr. Martins shared the stage with several celebrities, such as: Raymond Yang, co-founder & managing partner of WestSummit Capital, Jack McCauley, co-founder, Oculus VR, Jun Wu, founding partner of Amino Capital, Steve Westly Managing Partner of Westly Group, Xiang Qian, Medical Director of Stanford Health Care, Noel Lee, Founder and CEO of head monster products Inc, the visionary billionaire Peter Nygard, the inspiring Suzanne Somers, the world famous futurist Ray Kurzweil, and Artificial Intelligence pioneer Ben Goertzel, among many other celebrities…

Thesis Chapters by Nuno Martins
The human brain is unique because it is the only body organ that cannot, even in principle, be transplanted from a donor without fundamentally altering the individual persona of the recipient patient. Information pertaining to brain structure, neural connectivity, neurotransmitter activity, cellular and organ-level neurological function, and higher mental states including personality and self-awareness can be permanently altered or lost as a result of physical trauma, pathogenic diseases, and a variety of degenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s.
Once destroyed, this information cannot, even in principle, be recovered using current techniques, thus permanently diminishing patient health. It must be a key goal of future medical technology to provide novel methods for measuring, validating, and archiving comprehensive brain-related structural and functional information. Such person-specific information, once preserved, might subsequently be employed to analyze existing pathologies at cellular detail and to devise appropriate therapies, and ultimately might be used to guide processes designed to restore the original state of the brain that existed prior to its pathological degradation.
Neuronanorobotics offer an ideal technology for monitoring, recording, and even manipulating many different types of brain-related information, and is expected to permit preserving comprehensive human brain information. Medical neuronanorobots are expected to be capable of real-time monitoring of single-neuron neuroelectric activity, local neuropeptide traffic, and other relevant functional data. Employment of large numbers of cooperating neuronanorobots might permit simultaneous whole-brain monitoring.
When coupled with single-cell repair capabilities, advanced medical neuronanorobotics may be the ultimate technology needed to treat Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and other brain-related neurodegenerative disorders, epilepsy, dementia, memory disorders, sensory disorders, spinal cord and neuromuscular disorders, pain and toxic disorders, chronic headaches, along with a wide variety of physical injuries to the brain.
