Prof. Tuck Seng Wong is a Professor of Biomanufacturing at the University of Sheffield (UK). He is also the Director of the UK–South-East Asia Vaccine Manufacturing Research Hub. He currently holds two adjunct positions in South-East Asia: one at the National Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (BIOTEC, Thailand) and the other at the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB, Indonesia). Throughout his academic career, he has received three prestigious fellowships, i.e., the RAEng/Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellowship (2019), the Royal Academy of Engineering Industrial Fellowship (2016), and the MRC Career Development Fellowship (2007). He has over 20 years of experience in protein science and engineering, covering a range of applications, including alternative foods, biopharmaceuticals, and enzyme biocatalysis. He is the author of the protein engineering textbook ‘A Practical Guide to Protein Engineering’ (ISBN 978-3-030-56898-6). In 2022, he co-founded Evolutor Ltd., a biotech spinout based in Sheffield, focusing on developing advanced microbes for biomanufacturing through an automated evolution platform. His second spinout company in Sheffield, ReNewFood, is expected to incorporate in 2024. ReNewFood explores the use of novel protein-based flavour ingredients to enhance the taste and the nutritional quality of alternative foods.
