Juan Pablo is a physiotherapist and researcher with a strong foundation in physical activity, public health, and behavioural interventions. He began his career in Colombia, where he co-founded a physical activity programme focused on early childhood development and supported research with the IDEAL Foundation, working on initiatives related to disability and community health.

He holds an MSc in Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Public Health from the University of Bristol, where his research explored the relationship between active transport and hypertension.

He’s especially interested in how research can support fairer access to healthcare, using both digital innovations and local programmes to improve people's health and wellbeing.
