Dylan Yeo

Co-Founder & CEO

Dylan began an MD-PhD track at the University of Oxford specialising in musculoskeletal tissue engineering, funded by the Kennedy Trust Ox-Ken Studentship, but left the program to focus full-time on Klona Biotech. 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

Co-Founder & CTO

Thomas holds an MSc in Human and Biological Robotics from Imperial College London and has received Laidlaw and Arkwright Scholarships, as well as the IET Prize for academic excellence. He has hands-on experience in rapid prototyping and product development from his time at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. Motivated to translate research into impact, Thomas stepped away from a PhD at Imperial to pursue Klona Biotech full-time.
