Implants That Fit You, Down to the Fibre

Curing disease by printing functional fibrous human tissues

ABOUT US

At Klona Biotech, we're reimagining the future of tissue implants.

Our team develops advanced bioprinting technologies to create strong, biocompatible structures for research and medical applications.



OUR LONG-TERM VISION

Our goal is to make this technology as common in hospitals as MRI machines. We envision a world where strong, safe, and reliable patient-specific organs can be printed on demand.

We are looking to partner with research hospitals and clinical teams to accelerate real-world testing and navigate the regulatory landscape from day one. Contact us below.

THE TEAM

Dylan Yeo

Dylan Yeo

Co-Founder & CEO

Born to a family of entrepreneurs, Dylan is determined to continue a family legacy of successful business and social good. Currently an MD PhD at the University of Oxford specialising in Musculoskeletal Tissue Engineering, he is fully funded by the Kennedy Trust's OxKen Studentship. He has NZ Scholarships in Biology, Physics, and History, and has leadership experience as a sergeant in Singapore's elite Intelligence Recon formation. He co-founded the Oxford Biohacking Society, helping it grow to its current 500+ members; is a Foresight Institute longevity grantee, and is part of the first UK cohort of Fifty Years' 5050 program.

Thomas Groom

Thomas Groom

Co-Founder & CTO

Thomas is holds an MSc in Human and Biological Robotics from Imperial College, and was awarded Laidlaw and Arkwright Scholarships, as well as the prestigious IET Prize for academic excellence. He has been repeatedly distinguished for both leadership and technical expertise. He has hands-on experience in rapid prototyping and product development while working at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. Driven by a desire to develop transformative medical technologies, Thomas stepped away from a PhD at Imperial to pursue his startup full-time and make a real-world impact.

Anne Behre

Anne Behre

Founding Biomedical Engineer

Anne Behre, PhD, is a biomedical engineer with expertise in tissue engineering, extracellular matrix biomaterials, and advanced 3D bioprinting. She completed her PhD in the Regenerative Biomaterials and Therapeutics Group at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) under the mentorship of Adam Feinberg, PhD. She has led interdisciplinary collaborations, mentored students across levels, and received recognition including a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship and the CMU Graduate Student Service Award. Anne earned her undergraduate degree in bioengineering at Lehigh University, where she was a Clare Boothe Luce research scholar and an Iacocca International Intern Research Scholar.

Kai Latham

Kai Latham

Founding Mechanical Engineer

Kai is a recent graduate from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a BSc in Biomedical Engineering. He has experience in prototyping and product development while working for Biom Technologies on air purification via moss. At Klona Biotech he is applying his interests in bioprinting to develop the mechanical ascpects of our bioprinter platform.

Brishti Miller

Brishti Miller

Research Associate

Brishti is an aspiring molecular biologist and entrepreneur, and a recent graduate of Imperial College London with a BSc (Hons) in Biochemistry. Beside her academic achievements, she gained research and leadership experience at deep-tech start-ups. She also pursued her own entrepreneurial project through Imperial’s Faculty of Natural Sciences Make-A-Difference competition. Brishti is now applying her curiosity for cutting-edge biotech research at Klona Biotech as a research assistant, where she works primarily in tissue engineering.

Alex Goodenbour

Alex Goodenbour

Computational Software Developer

Alex holds a MASt degree in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge and is completing a PhD in Mathematical Physics at the University of Oxford. His research focuses on geometric representations of scattering amplitudes in gauge theories and gravity as part of the Simons Collaboration on Celestial Holography. At Klona Biotech, he plays a key role in developing the slicing software that powers our bioprinter platform.
