I’m Vivien Perrelle — a founder building verification infrastructure for biology research, and a freelance AI engineer for biology and TechBio teams: AI agents, context engineering, and scientific tooling.
MSc in Creative Technologies (Institute for Future Technologies) · ex-R&D at PKvitality · founder of Finexov and LocusLab · building AI that science can trust.
Selected Works
LocusLab
Building independent evidence-assurance infrastructure for biology and regulated science, the first commercial layer of a broader verification thesis for AI-driven research.
epibudget
Built an open-source experimental-design tool that chooses protein variants by the interaction structure they expose under a fixed lab budget.
Scientific Claim Verifier
Open-source engine that verifies each cited claim in scientific text against its source, with deterministic, fully-traceable provenance: F1 0.92 on SciFact (vs 0.62 naive baseline).
Finexov
Built AI agents to streamline complex R&D documentation for public funding.
Oseille AI
Developed a specialized agent for French business subsidies.
Mistral AI MCP Hackathon
Contributed to an MCP server that helps companies find relevant European funding calls directly from Le Chat.

Research Intern @ PKvitality
Hands-on R&D on enzymatic microneedle biosensors (glucose & lactate) inside a VC-backed team building the first non-invasive CGM smartwatch for diabetics.
Wearable Biosensor Research
Built a working smartwatch prototype for wearable glucose and lactate enzymatic biosensors from scratch, the project that earned the PKvitality R&D role.
Green-Grown
Designed, manufactured and crowdfunded a modular wood construction game that shapes a living climbing plant.
Bione
Coded an open-source WebGL app that teaches how a microneedle glucose biosensor works through an interactive 3D model.
E-Textile Motion Suit
Co-built an easy-to-make e-textile platform whose fabric sensors capture a wearer's movements through stitched stretch, crumple, and inertial sensors.

Beyond Work
Engagement
I enlisted as a reservist in the French Air Force at 18.
Hiking
I love hiking in the French Alps.
Art
I used to draw.
