About
Daniel Raus de Baviera holds a PhD in Agricultural, Agro-Environmental and Food Resources and Technologies from Miguel Hernández University of Elche. His doctoral research addressed the domestication of medicinal plants, integrating ecophysiology and phytochemical optimization to enhance bioactive compound production. His work was supervised by Prof. Dr. Antonio Ruiz and co-supervised by Prof. Dr. Enrique Barrajón.
During his training in agronomic sciences, phytotherapy, molecular biology, and biomedicine, he gained research experience at several leading institutions, including the Murcian Institute for Biosanitary Research (IMIB), the Institute of Biomedicine and Biotechnology of Cantabria (IBBTEC), the Institute for Research, Development and Innovation in Health Biotechnology of Elche (IDiBE), and the Agri-Food and Agro-Environmental Research and Innovation Center (CIAGRO). These research stages consolidated his interest in understanding how plants can contribute to human health and well-being.
Since 2019, he has served as Director of the Rausenbach Center for Analysis and Research (CRAI), operating within the Rausenbach Foundation, where he coordinates several projects under the conceptual framework of “The Human–Plant Approach.” This programme integrates research, scientific outreach, and training to explore the coevolution between plants and humans and its potential applications in the field of neurodiversity.
Dr. Raus de Baviera focuses his work on the study and modulation of phytochemical profiles to influence neurocognitive processes from an evolutionary and multidisciplinary perspective. His research integrates molecular biology, phytochemistry, and bioinformatics, with the aim of generating rigorous scientific knowledge that can be translated into practical strategies to improve the quality of life of individuals living with challenges associated with neurodiversity.
With a strong commitment to social impact, he actively participates in scientific collaboration networks and develops projects aimed at bridging basic research and real-world needs of individuals affected in their daily lives by alterations in attentional, emotional, and cognitive regulation. He publishes his findings in specialized scientific journals and continues to promote initiatives that bring science closer to the service of human well-being.
