📣 Announcing Demo Day Speakers & Program
We are showcasing projects AthenaDAO’s network is helping incubate or scale.
Funded Research
Milestones on some of the scientific projects AthenaDAO has funded
Dr. Peter Fedichev is the Co-Founder and CEO of Gero.AI, one of the leading platforms in longevity. Discover how they are using AI to optimize drug discovery for menopause with biobanks in collaboration with AthenaDAO.
Dr. Mario Cordero is the Principal Investigator at the Cordero Lab, Pablo de Olavide University Sevilla, with a project funded by AthenaDAO!
What if there was a molecule to delay menopause? He is working on this and already has in vivo positive data! Hear him speak about inflammasomes & fertility.
From the Lab to Utility
How we support researchers to create companies
What if there was a forecast to calculate when your fertility ends? Meet the academic spin-out AthenaDAO is supporting to do this. Hear from Dr. Joshua Johnson, an AthenaDAO-funded researcher, the principal investigator at the Johnson Lab at the University of Colorado, and the Chief Scientific Officer of LifeAhead on how we are making this happen.
Dr. Nicholas Gentry, the CEO of LifeAhead, will also be joining Dr. Joshua Johnson to delve further into fertility forecasting.
AI
Creating Agents for Reproductive Longevity
How do we make AI work for women’s health research?! AthenaDAO is collaborating with CoopHive to fine-tune LLMs to focus on Reproductive Longevity research. See a demo from Levi Rybalov, CEO and founder of CoopHive to preview how we are making this happen.
Clinical Trials
From finding them to joining them
Want to know how your saliva could be used to track your fertility? Better yet! Want to be part of our first decentralized clinical research? Kateryna Andreeva, CMO and Co-Founder of Ovul.AI will talk about this and the three confirmed pregnancies using Ovul devices.
AthenaDAO is collaborating with Ovul to give away 50 OVUL DEVICES for clinical research!
Ovul.AI x AthenaDAO are making a call for 50 women to test the Ovul AI device - an at-home tool that analyzes your fertility to test new biomarkers through saliva.
As an attendee, you’ll have the opportunity to become a tester if you meet the criteria. Our goal is to publish this research. So don’t miss out on the chance to contribute to women’s health research as part of a clinical trial!
Collaborating with StartUps
Our network as a launchpad
Prof. Simon Fishel (MD, PhD, FRSB) is the Founder and CEO of ProFaM, the author of “Breakthrough Babies” and one of the pioneers behind IVF. Join Demo Day to learn about the first clinics doing ovarian cryopreservation to extend reproductive longevity.
Are you interested in learning how AthenaDAO is leveraging our network to support start-ups to do research? Hear from Ananya Grover, CEO of HealCycle, a Labouisse Fellow, and an Entrepreneur in Residence at Antler on how we are making this happen.
Shruti Singh, CEO of TerraBioware will also talk about how AthenaDAO is helping start-ups do research.
