Projects (note this page is under construction, with projects to be added to the “past” section soon!)
Current + Areas of Interest
- Building and on the core team of AthenaDAO. We are the largest decentralized community working to advance R&D in women’s health with 70% of our treasury having gone to projects across women’s health - specifically Ovarian Aging, Endometriosis, PCOS, Gynecological Oncology, and ReproTech. Our call for submissions in wearables is currently open.
- Just launched AthenaBIO. We are an equity vehicle for projects in women’s health R&D. Our Fund I ($5M USD) will invest in 15 projects across ReproTech, AI, Longevity, Medical Devices, and more. If you are interested, please message me ASAP at victoria@athenadao.co.
- Accelerating the patent process (company in stealth). I am currently raising. Please email at victoria.dmitruczyk@gmail.com to see the deck and get on the cap table early :)
- Working on the ECA Initiative, using DMPA-SC to enhance access to contraception in Uganda and eventually more of Subsaharan Africa. You can see the Concept Note here.
- Having fun with quant math at CoinIQ and Palance.
- 2025 Cansbridge Fellow, Time Fellow, and Longevity Biotech Fellow. Also pursuing my Juris Doctor as a first year law student.
Past
- I’ve produced five reports in the area of Reproductive Health with AthenaDAO. 4 of these are public goods that you can find below:
- Launched three tokens to reach >$5M marketcap.
- Worked out of Tufts investigating how we could reduce the costs of lab-grown meat cultivated through the stem cells of insects
- Entomoculture: A Preliminary Techno-Economic Assessment - Published in Foods!
- An Analysis of Schneider’s Drosophila Medium Costs and Production Volumes For Cultivated Insect Meat Production
- An Analysis of Insect Culture Medium and Production Volumes for Entomoculture
- Whitepaper: An Analysis Of Culture Medium Costs and Production Volumes For Cultivated Meat
- Plant-based milk alternatives: Optimizing for functional properties and applications
- Utilizing Waste Heat from Nuclear Power Plants for Desalination and Electricity Generation
- Whitepaper
- Using Lithium Oxide Blankets to Accelerate Nuclear Fusion Development
- Whitepaper
- TLDR: In D-T plasma driven fusion, tritium is produced internally through a confinement device as fusion neutrons interact with lithium. However, tritium is expensive and rare on Earth, meaning that to sustain nuclear fusion, we cannot afford to waste tritium. This solution proposes using a lithium-oxide blanket, made up of the heavy isotope of Oxygen, Oxygen-18, and Lithium (creating Lithium Oxide, Li20) to help encapsulate tritium within a reactor.
- Supercharging Plants with Suberin
- Targeting PPE Pollution
- Targeting Folie a Deux by creating more alpha oscillations through non-invasive transcranial alternating current brain stimulation (please email to see this!)
- Overriding the original associations of midbrain dopamine neurons to treat mental health conditions.
- Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs)
- Interned for Walmart’s International Emerging Tech Team, Mykigai, New Harvest, UHN, and The Knowledge Society.
- Have worked on antimicrobial resistance, non-invasive health monitoring, a lot of farming-related projects
- Have consulted for Alphabet Inc., Kidogo, and Zappos, amongst other companies (but these were my fav 💗)
