Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Grant is a founder and technology leader with 11+ years building software to modernise biological R&D, co-founding Synthace and most recently launching Scientist In The Loop. He blends deep hands-on experience in synthetic biology, bioprocessing and lab automation with pragmatic software engineering—designing, coding and iterating on a digital experiment platform that nudges users toward reproducible, machine-learning-friendly workflows. At Synthace he led R&D efforts that integrated generative AI and ML-driven liquid handling, and founded the Antha Academy to teach lab scientists to code biological protocols. Trained as an Eng.D in Biochemical Engineering and experienced in industrial fermentation and translational projects at UCL and Abbott, he thrives at the intersection of biology and software, turning experimental practice into data that powers AI. An unconventional strength is his consistent focus on opinionated, scalable solutions that make complex lab processes auditable and automatable.
