Saulius Fomenko met the Astrogen team, which is developing the AST-001 drug candidate and preparing a new Phase III clinical trial. They agreed to cooperate on opportunities in Europe.
When a team did not form around his proposed topic, Saulius joined a young GlaucomAI team to help address a complex glaucoma research challenge. At the BIO-RED hackathon, the team presented a research-prototype demonstration and a plan for further evaluation.
The RegBridge team, including Saulius Fomenko, won first place at the BIO-RED hackathon. The team presented a platform concept to help advanced-therapy developers organise regulatory requirements through AI assistance and professional review.
A visit to Madeira’s Central and University Hospital under construction. A conversation with the hospital’s President explored the needs of children with autism and neurological conditions, with an agreement to cooperate in developing these ideas.
With support from two mentors, the four-person RareBridge team won the BIO-RED Cross-Regional Hackathon 2026. Three days of work produced a working prototype, system architecture and business case.
Participation in ICAN, Temple Grandin’s presentation and meetings with people working in autism and neurodevelopment. The Canada visit also included further professional conversations with Sonya Doherty and BeMe.ai.
Digitising Dr Audrius Plioplys’s practice archive is part of LukoLab’s documentation work. Saulius preserved the material digitally; any potential scientific evaluation is a separate stage.
After MAPS, a visit to Michiana and an extended recorded interview on child neurology, autism research, art and Dr Plioplys’s interpretation of the Voynich Manuscript. Work later continued in his archive in Chicago.
At Honey Rinicella’s invitation, Saulius attended MAPS Spring. The professional programme ran on 12–14 March, followed by closing Q&A sessions and conversations with parents on 15 March.
The LukoLab founder’s participation in a MAHA event and autism roundtable forms part of international dialogue on autism. This records participation, not an institutional partnership.
Professional connections
