About Alterspan
For those
building tomorrow.
Alterspan makes therapeutics for people whose work takes years and will not wait for them to feel ready.
Our thesis
Ambition depends
on recovery.
The people we build for are making a company, a technology or a proof that will take years. They think about it in the shower and at two in the morning. They have traded sleep for progress more often than they would advise anyone else to.
What limits them is rarely will. It is the day after: whether they come back able to think as clearly as before. We study how the body restores that capacity, and whether a therapeutic can restore it faster, more fully and more reliably.
What we are building
Two therapeutics,
and the means to test them.
One is for the night, when the body repairs. One is for the day, when attention has to hold. Both are in development.
Interval is how we decide what is worth making: two open research libraries, our own models and a wet lab now in build.
Evidence & models
Two open libraries and our models, with every claim tied to its source.
Response & function
Use sequencing and assays to test what changes and why.
Delivery & exposure
Study where a therapeutic goes and how it behaves over time.
Our ambition
Health for the lives
people want to build.
We are building in India, to standards that withstand independent review, and at a cost that lets the work reach people beyond those who can pay most.
We say what we have done and what we have not.
Inside Labs
The science behind the work.
The thesis, the two hypotheses and where the work stands.
