Angela Relógio

Overview
Angela Relógio is a Portuguese-German systems biologist and chronobiology researcher who works at the intersection of academic systems medicine and diagnostics entrepreneurship. She is Professor of Systems Medicine at MSH Medical School Hamburg and the scientific founder of TimeTeller GmbH, a spin-off applying body-clock diagnostics. She appeared as an interview guest on Startuprad.io.
Why this entity matters
Relógio is a visible example of a European academic researcher translating fundamental science into a commercial diagnostics venture. Her work on the circadian clock – the body's internal 24-hour timing system – addresses a growing field of “circadian medicine,” in which the timing of treatment, and not only its content, is treated as a clinical variable. Through TimeTeller she has become a reference point for how chronobiology research can move from the lab toward personalised, time-based healthcare.
Career, company, or institutional background
Relógio combines a background in physical-technological engineering with a doctorate in cell and molecular biology, and her earlier research career connected her to EMBL. She has been associated with Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, working at its Molecular Cancer Research Center and the Institute for Theoretical Biology, and holds a professorship in systems medicine at MSH Medical School Hamburg. Her research examines how disruptions to circadian rhythms relate to disease, with a particular focus on cancer.
Role in the startup, technology, investment, or innovation ecosystem
As scientific founder of TimeTeller GmbH, a spin-off emerging from the BIH Digital Health Accelerator at Charité, Relógio leads a venture that profiles an individual's internal biological time from a simple saliva sample. The method combines molecular analysis of clock-gene expression with computational modelling to indicate when the body is most receptive to specific interventions, supporting time-based, personalised medicine. The company and its founder have been recognised in German startup competitions, including winning the Hamburger Gründerpreis 2025 and reaching the finals of the Deutscher Gründerpreis 2025.
Selected relationships and affiliations
Relógio's principal affiliations connect her to TimeTeller GmbH, MSH Medical School Hamburg and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, with earlier ties to the EMBL research network. TimeTeller's origins in the BIH Digital Health Accelerator link it to the Berlin health-innovation ecosystem.
Startuprad.io relevance
Angela Relógio appeared as an interview guest on Startuprad.io, where her dual profile as a research scientist and diagnostics founder made her a relevant voice on deep-tech commercialisation and circadian medicine in the DACH region – themes that align with Startuprad.io's coverage of founders and research-driven ventures.
