About us

Co-founder & CEO

Cecy has a degree in Biological Sciences from Oxford University and an MSc in ML from Imperial College London, specialising in graph-based biological modelling. At Biographica, Cecy leads strategy and business development, leveraging prior experience in drug manufacturing and supply chain at GSK as well as market access strategy consulting for gene-editing technologies.

Co-founder & CTO

Dom holds Masters degrees in Maths and Stem Cell Biology, as well as a PhD in Computational Genomics, from Cambridge. In his PhD, and later as an ML researcher at Relation Therapeutics, Dom applied graph ML to target discovery. He leads platform development at Biographica, drawing inspiration from drug discovery to design efficient target discovery methods for crop gene-editing.

Graph Machine Learning Engineer

Paride completed a PhD at King’s College London, and Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at University College London, in molecular biology and computational neuroscience. He subsequently worked as a Senior Scientist at BenevolentAI, designing ML models for target identification. At Biographica, Paride designs graph-based methods for target discovery and protein analytics.

Lead Data Engineer

Dennis has an MSc in bioinformatics from TU Munich and 7+ years experience as a data engineer in biotech startups. At BenevolentAI, Dennis led a team integrating large bioinformatics datasets to support drug target discovery and portfolio suitability prediction. At Biographica, he draws on this experience to develop robust and scalable data infrastructure for our platform.

Principal Bioinformatician

Felix completed a PhD at Oxford in Interdisciplinary Bioscience and his Bachelors at the Technical University of Munich in Molecular Biotechnology. Before joining Biographica, he has experience working as a Research Scientist, Bioinformatician and Computational Biologist, developing automated and high-throughput protein complex prediction workflows.

Computational Biologist

Vicky completed her PhD at Cambridge in Metabolic and Cardiovascular Disease and her Masters at Imperial in Biomedical Research. Before joining Biographica, she spent three years as a Post-Doc Research Fellow, integrating multi-omics datasets and machine learning methods to study molecular mechanisms of drug toxicity for early drug discovery.

Plant Scientist

Naama is a molecular biologist with a PhD specializing in cancer genetics, and a post doc in plant genetics. In previous roles, Naama spearheaded projects that incorporate genetic engineering, high-throughput sequencing, and computational tools to advance developmental research in plant genetics. Naama’s work has involved developing protocols across several model species to investigate plant development and organ regeneration.

Head of Operations

Liz joined Biographica from early-stage VC fund Kindred Capital, where she supported a portfolio of 60+ startups with strategic advice, access to networks, and founder-focused programs. With prior experience as a startup operator, she brings operational and strategic expertise in scaling early ventures. Liz holds a BA in Economics from the University of Virginia and an MBA from Cass Business School. At Biographica, she oversees operations, finance, and people, and helps drive company-wide strategy and execution.

Machine Learning Engineer

Jacob holds a Master’s degree and a PhD in Computer Science and Machine Learning at the University of Cambridge. His research focused on building dynamical models of genetic regulation using data from high-throughput sequencing protocols. Before Biographica, he worked as a machine learning contractor developing methods from evaluating combinatorial CRISPR gene-editing libraries to building antibiotic discovery pipelines using protein language models.

Data Engineer

Gabrielle studied Biochemistry at Imperial College London and holds an Masters in Health Data Science from University College London, where she focused on natural language processing in pathology. She previously worked at MSK.ai, building a healthcare analytics data platform in the musculoskeletal space. At Biographica, she develops robust pipelines to advance our data ecosystem for ML-driven discovery.
