Science is humanity’s greatest tool for change.

I’m Alex – I’m a founder, scientist, investor, advisor, etc.

I think about advanced research projects with transformative impact.

I grew up between New York and the rural countryside of Gifu, Japan.

Currently, I’m working on Artemis, a philanthropic startup.

Previously, I led preclinical research at Gordian, a longevity drug discovery biotech.

Before that, I worked on in vivo CRISPR brain delivery through the blood brain barrier for Alzheimer’s.

Before that, I worked on high content in vivo CRISPR screens for breast cancer.

I mostly write here. Reach out anytime on my email: alexaraki[dot]me[at]gmail.com 🙂

My work is generously supported by Emergent Ventures, Renaissance Philanthropy, Adam Marblestone, and many other wonderful people.
