Where we have shown the work, what came of it, and who wrote about it.

Built with Claude: Life Sciences | 2026

Anthropic ran this with the Gladstone Institutes and Cerebral Valley — a week-long virtual hackathon, 7–13 July 2026, split between a research track on Claude Science and a build track on Claude Code. We submitted the Spacefarer Phenome pilot: a pre-registered pipeline that mines human genetic variation for targets tied to spaceflight stress, then carries a candidate through structure, docking and molecular dynamics • deck

Agentic AI Against Aging | 2025

An online hackathon on agentic AI and longevity science, run under the HackAging.ai banner from 7 to 25 October 2025. It drew 751 participants across 26 countries, and 54 teams filed submissions against a $42,000 prize pool. We entered the ECM Aging Atlas — a database of time-resolved matrisome signatures pulled out of published proteomics — in the Rapid Adoption Track, one of twenty teams there, and took one of that track's two $2,500 prizes • deck • demo

Psi Combinator | 2023

A four-week accelerator for decentralised science, run out of New York and billed by its organisers as a pop-up research lab. The first cohort met through June and July 2023 and closed with a demo day on 21 August, held jointly with DeSciNYC. We laid out four development tracks for clearing extra- and intracellular glycation damage: de novo enzyme design, a metagenomic screen, in silico directed evolution of putative deglycases, and enhanced glyoxalase I for diabetic kidney disease • deck

Hypothesis Prize | 2023

The opening round of The Longevity Prize, launched by VitaDAO with the Foresight Institute. It asked one question — what is the most promising but underappreciated or obscure area of longevity science we should pursue? — and took answers of one to three pages, scored by a panel of twenty-two judges. We argued that methylglyoxal glycates the ribosome and degrades translation accuracy, and took second place: 5,000 DAI • deck

Longevity Hackathon | 2023

The first VitaDAO Longevity Hackathon, run online by LongHack over 20–22 January 2023 after an ideation weekend. Hundreds registered and ten teams made the final round. We pitched an engineered glyoxalase I for diabetic kidney disease, and won: 5,500 VITA and 3,500 USDC. The entry started the weekend as a software platform and finished it as a therapy candidate • deck
