Projects

Interlit
Interlit is all about advancing the field of protein design, and our vision is to increase humanity's healthspan. We develop new methods, software, and AI models for protein design as well as for therapeutic applications. We are a team of world-class scientists, computational biologists, and protein engineers: the technology we developed broke several world records, and our works established State-of-the-Art results. To describe our journeys at Interlit, we would use the word magical. For instance, the founder worried about finding a cofounder or a pharma client. It felt like sailing through deep ocean thunderstorms: we were lost, unsure of which way to go. Yet, the next day, we wake up and arrive at a new land....

Orbiit was built to shift the focus back to quality, clarity, and meaningful in-person connection. We’ve launched our first in-person matchmaking events and attracted over 100+ early users through word-of-mouth and campus outreach. Our main goal is to develop a research-backed dating app that offers compatibility-based matching and real-world meetups, creating a more intentional and emotionally intelligent way to date. The project started after a breakup, when one of the co-founders began dating again and realised the dating world felt disconnected and surface-level. She shared her experience with her best friend and now co-founder, and together they decided to create a platform that could offer something better. Fly into Orbiit with us....
