Victor Alfred is an Innovation Fellow and gene therapy scientist with 10 years’ experience spanning rational AAV capsid design, production, sequencing-driven quality control and functional validation in organoid models. At AstraZeneca he engineered end-to-end capsid discovery workflows—combining structure-guided modelling, mechanistic mathematical models and AI-augmented pipelines—to identify higher-potency variants and uncover biological bottlenecks. Previously he led the preclinical programme for a gene replacement therapy at Sheffield, building integrated analytical frameworks and ML-driven pipelines that accelerated candidate selection and cut analysis time by ~65%, while briefing executive teams and investors. Trained to PhD level in molecular medicine, he uniquely bridges hands-on wet-lab vector engineering with custom computational tooling (including a Python MinION pipeline) to translate complex multiomic datasets into actionable decisions.
