Alpha Knight Academy

A computational research institute with education at its heart. It works on hard questions in drug discovery and diagnostics, and trains life-science graduates by putting them inside that work.

Why this, first.

Every year, thousands of life-science graduates finish degrees that teach a lot of biology but not the work drug discovery companies hire for. Our founder took that path and found it learnable. The Academy makes it learnable on purpose.

What the studio built.

Everything below came out of Fit, Frame and Form, by the same in-house team that would build with you.

Brand and story

A four-helix mark with a story behind it, a name system for the training and its modules, and a brand guide.

Website

A research-first website: lab, training, method, community and a private opportunities board, built to be read on a phone.

Outreach

A free webinar and its storyboard, social templates and college outreach.

Training design

Affinity, built backwards from real job titles: seven modules, six specialisations and a two-round selection.

Platform

Fork, a private board of jobs, PhDs and research posts, matched to each student every week.

Content

Notes: short, honest reads on placements, CVs and first papers.

The look.

One family of type, one orange, and graphics drawn from real molecular geometry.

Next.

One company built properly before the next. The next seat is open.
