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.

Naz holds the prestigious BCL from Oxford University. With over 13 years of experience in business growth, commercialisation, and marketing, he spearheads partnerships and strategic initiatives — building client relationships across pharmaceutical, medtech, and contract research sectors.
