Custom simulation systems and biomimetic materials for pharmaceutical R&D, surgical device testing, and clinical training — delivered from Cambridge by an award-winning materials science team. Young Company of the Year 2025.
AnthroTek exists to give pharmaceutical and medtech teams access to simulation-grade biomimetic materials and anatomical models — engineered to the precision their R&D demands, without the compromises of off-the-shelf solutions.
AnthroTek was established near Cambridge by a team with over 15 years of materials science research and a combined track record spanning academia, industry, and enterprise commercialisation. Since launching, we have delivered custom simulation systems to clients in the UK, Europe, and Japan — and are currently supported by Innovate UK across multiple competitive R&D grants.
Our facility houses dedicated silicone fabrication, 3D printing, and materials testing capabilities — enabling rapid prototyping and full-scale production of bespoke anatomical models and biomimetic systems.
PhD in material chemistry and 15 years of experience in both academia and industry. Author of 37 research articles, 2 reviews of literature and 1 patent in the field of chemistry, nanotechnology and material science. He leads the development of biomimetic systems now used by surgical device manufacturers across Europe and Japan.
