Peter Cudmore, PhD

Contact: pete@pneumatica.bio

Peter Cudmore, PhD is a founder of Pneumatica Bio. Pete’s work is motivated by a core belief that people are most effective when complex systems are automated in ways that amplify human insight rather than replace it. At Pneumatica Bio, this philosophy drives the development of software and robotic platforms that empower analysts and biologists to dramatically increase their effectiveness in experimentation, interpretation, and decision-making.

Matt Faria, PhD

Contact: matt@pneumatica.bio

Matt Faria, PhD is a founder of Pneumatica Bio. Matt is a computer scientist, software engineer, and quantitative biologist driven by a fundamental challenge in drug development: the costly, time-intensive, and often unpredictable nature of clinical trials. Too many promising therapies fail to translate, wasting years of effort and billions of dollars while patients wait for treatments that could change their lives.

Stuart Johnston, PhD

Contact: stuart@pneumatica.bio

Stuart Johnston, PhD is a founder of Pneumatica Bio. Stuart’s approach is driven by the philosophy that biological data alone is insufficient to capture the nuance of living systems; true insight requires a rigorous framework where data, mathematical models, and biological knowledge are inextricably linked. At Pneumatica Bio, this principle underlines the development of an interpretable analysis pipeline that not just fits curves to data, but actively reveals the underlying mechanisms driving therapeutic response.
