Human Performance · R&D Division

Evidence-based optimisation for real-world human performance.

Advanced Biotech Research is the dedicated R&D arm of Substrate Autonomous Ltd, exploring how biology, behaviour and data interact. We design, test and analyse cognitive, metabolic and psychophysiological protocols—turning lived experience into structured, long-term scientific insight.

Who We Are

A focused research unit for human optimisation.

We operate as a small, specialised R&D division inside Substrate Autonomous Ltd, exploring how supplements, nootropics, sleep, fasting, training and behaviour combine to shape performance in real life—not just in controlled lab conditions.

Our work blends published science, carefully structured self-experimentation and AI-assisted data analysis to build a long-term body of knowledge around cognitive, emotional and metabolic performance.

Research Pillars

Six domains that structure all of our R&D.

1. Cognitive Performance & Neurochemistry

Nootropics, neurotransmitter balance, focus, learning, and mental stamina under different stack designs.

2. Metabolic & Physiological Optimisation

Fasting, protein timing, inflammation, recovery curves and energy management across the day.

3. CESI Psychophysiology

Our internal CESI framework tracks mood, stress, focus and emotional energy over time to map patterns and deviations.

4. Supplement Science & Synergy

Stack composition, cycling rules, synergy effects, tolerance build-up and risk/benefit modelling.

5. Analytics & AI Insights

Dashboards, anomaly detection, time-series analysis and AI-driven recommendations for “next best protocol”.

6. Protocols, Publications & IP

Transforming findings into structured protocols, reports, frameworks and future commercial assets.

Approach

Science-first, safety-first, hype-free.

Scientific Method

Every project follows a clear hypothesis → protocol → measurement → analysis → iteration loop, logged and versioned.

Real-World Context

Protocols are built around actual workdays and family life, not artificial lab isolation.

Ethics & Safety

Conservative dosing, no medical claims, no third-party testing, and strict adherence to non-clinical human performance research.

Data-Driven Decisions

CESI logs, time-series trends and AI-assisted analytics guide what we keep, what we adjust and what we discard.

Current Focus

Active lines of investigation.

Comparing morning vs. evening nootropic protocols for 8+ hour cognitive stability.
Investigating magnesium timing and form for sleep quality and emotional regulation.
Exploring fasting windows and protein strategies for sustained mental performance.
Refining synergy rules for choline donors, racetams and adaptogens.
Analysing long-term CESI trends to understand how mood, stress and focus respond to protocol changes.

Collaborations & Enquiries
