Ramón Risco Delgado, Ph.D. was born in 1966 in Seville, Spain. He studied three years of Physics at the University of Seville, and two years in the specialty of Theoretical Physics in Granada. He was granted by the Nuclear Energy Board (Madrid) to study problems related to Nuclear Fusion by magnetic confinement. He earned his Ph.D. working with Franco Selleri (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, Bari, Italy) and Anton Zeilinger (Institute für Experimentalphysik, Innsbruck, Austria), where he works on the problem of non-locality in Quantum Physics.

He created the research group FQM-239 of the Junta de Andalucía, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics. In 2002, he redirected its scientific activity towards biotechnology, specifically to the cryopreservation of biological material. He created the CryoBioTech Research Group. He did much of his research in cryopreservation at Harvard University (Boston, USA). He worked closely with the Center for Engineering in Medicine, (Boston, USA).
