I'm founder at Crane Bioworks, we are a partner for computational molecular engineering. We help wet lab teams decide what to test next.

Bring us a protein target and the constraints that matter. We combine multiple computational methods, check where the evidence agrees and where it does not, then return ranked candidates with the reasoning, uncertainty and a practical test plan. The work covers stability and solubility, enzyme optimization, protein design, complex prediction, plus linker or fusion design.

My background is computational biology. I hold a PhD from Ghent University and VIB. I also co-founded Solvice, acquired in 2026.
