The people behind AnFiTest

With a background in engineering and design, Henrietta has grown up immersed in the equine and agricultural sectors. She is an Arkwright Engineering Scholar and multiple award recipient in science and engineering, and brings a strong interest in business and finance to the company's strategy, shaping a practical and commercially focused approach to innovation.

Sophie completed her DPhil in Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Oxford, specialising in spectroelectrochemical studies of enzyme systems, before conducting postdoctoral research at the University of York. She brings nearly a decade of academic R&D experience to the team, drawing on her expertise in electrochemical systems and experimental development to lead our bio and electrochemical sectors of the project. Outside of work, you'll often find her playing cricket or befriending any dog she can find.

Tyler completed an MSci in Biochemistry at Newcastle University, focusing on assay development and optimisation during the latter stages of his degree, particularly in the context of disease. Finding a stark resemblance between AnFiTest's goals and what initially drew him into the field, Tyler is excited by the opportunity to contribute to the R&D team while growing alongside it.

SurgoTech Solutions are our software development partners and are building the MVP app for AnFiTest. They work closely with our team, helping turn our ideas into a practical, user friendly product that will play a key role in bringing the AnFiTest vision to life.
