Alexander Schubert is a PhD neuroscientist-turned-investor with deep expertise in alternative causes of neurodegeneration and prior R&D experience at Genentech, giving him unusually strong domain knowledge compared to most generalist VCs. He operates as both investor at SciFounders and Chief of Staff at fertility biotech Conception, while maintaining an active academic profile that positions him as a peer to technical founders rather than a purely financial investor.
