Hi, I'm Constantin.

I'm a scientist, engineer, and founder, though those labels matter less to me than what I'm actually trying to do, which is live long enough to see everything worth seeing. Eighty years isn't enough. There's too much universe, too much to build, too many people still to meet.

Somewhere along my way I realized (dying) aging is the bottleneck, the single biggest unsolved problem in life science and I decided to make it my life's work. I'm especially drawn to information-theoretic and stochastic theories of aging, and the question of whether we can actually reverse them. If yes, I will.

A few things about me

  • I sold my first company at 17, and I've spent most of the last five years in labs of one kind or another.
  • I'm finishing my MD this June.
  • Right now I split my time between learning as much math and biology as I can hold in my head, incubating companies out of what might be Central Europe's most notorious hacker house, and helping build a global society of people obsessed with humanity's biggest open questions.
  • Beyond aging, I get lost in AI, math, physics, neuroscience, biotech, philosophy, and engineering.

If any of this resonates — or you just want to argue about whether we can actually solve death — I'd love to hear from you.
