Reactorfield Demo Day - Cohort 1
We’re hosting friends, scientists, and founders to share what Reactorfield’s first cohort has built with AI. Join us for short demos, then meet the people behind the work.
Cohort 1 has 15 companies and institutions, including Sam Altman-backed startups, New York’s largest hospital network, a public biotech company, and 4 YC startups.
You’ll meet teams working on everything from cancer therapies to nuclear fusion, and see what AI is unlocking: protein-design cut from from months to weeks, fabrication process engineering, and new isotope-production methods.
Agenda:
4:00 PM: Light Refreshments
4:15 PM: Presentations Start Promptly
5:00 PM: Mingling + Meet the Fellows
Meet the cohort:
Episteme: A new R&D institution cofounded by Louis Andre and Sam Altman.
Vera Mucaj: An entrepreneur in residence at Mayo Clinic, turning clinical science into new ventures.
Merge Labs: Building higher-bandwidth, less-invasive brain-computer interfaces.
Retro Biosciences: Working to add ten healthy years to human life.
Strand Therapeutics: Building programmable mRNA medicines.
Xilio Therapeutics: A publicly traded company developing cancer immunotherapies.
Brian Kim: Chief biotech officer at Northwell Health, New York’s largest health system.
Alga Biosciences: Turning enteric methane into calories for livestock.
Foundation Industries: Modernizing how frontier hardware teams get parts made.
Kathy Liu: A Harvard PhD student developing smart materials.
Kopra Bio: Developing viral immunotherapies for cancer.
Lume Health: Building a continuous hormone-monitoring wearable.
Mass Magnetics: Making high-performance permanent magnets from recycled rare earths.
Radify Metals: Turning rare-earth and other critical-mineral oxides directly into metal.
Marathon Fusion: Developing compact fusion reactors to produce high-value isotopes.
Reactorfield is a fellowship helping scientists and deep-tech teams become AI-native.
The four-week program combines hands-on building, weekly demos, and 1:1 support to turn AI prototypes into scientific workflows that accelerate R&D.
