THE PEOPLE BEHIND VIRCHUE BIO

Science with a human purpose.

We are scientists and researchers united by a simple purpose: to help people live healthier lives. Our curiosity about blood flow and thrombosis drives us to turn rigorous research into practical tools, with care, collaboration, and a commitment to better health for everyone.

Professor Ken-Tye Yong is Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Sydney and Founder and Director of the Light and Advanced Systems Laboratory. His research spans biomedical engineering, microfluidics, sensing and AI-enabled scientific discovery. His work on Force-Gated Thrombosis focuses on translating mechanobiological insight and haemodynamic forces into predictive models that identify spatial regions of elevated clot-initiation propensity, linking fundamental theory with microfluidic validation and translational biomedical applications.
