Tudor wants to put protein engineering in anyone's hands, so that one day a biotech can be built and run by a single person.

He led machine-learning research at Adaptyv in Lausanne, where he built one of the first wet-lab benchmarks for binder design, developed risk-aware methods for protein optimisation, and organized international protein design competitions and hackathons. His earlier research, spanning immune repertoire analysis and computational enzyme design, has appeared in PNAS, Oxford Bioinformatics, and Angewandte Chemie.

Tudor holds an MSc in Biotechnology from ETH Zürich, where he was an ESOP scholar, and a First-Class BSc in Biological Sciences from Imperial College London.  

Outside of work, he produces techno music, builds modular synthesizers, and hikes in the Swiss Alps.
