At Unlearn, our purpose is to advance artificial intelligence (AI) to eliminate trial and error in medicine. We are innovating advanced machine learning methods to leverage generative AI in forecasting patient outcomes, starting with the domain of clinical trials. We produce AI-generated digital twins of individual trial participants, enabling smaller and more efficient clinical trials to bring effective medicines to patients sooner.
Our innovative work in AI today will reinvent how AI is applied in medicine tomorrow — and we have a top secret plan for how to get there. We won’t be able to achieve this mission just by applying technologies created by others; the future must be invented.
Unlearn is a technology company, not a biotech company. We use computers, not pipettes. We make and use software, we don’t discover or make drugs. We believe that AI will define the future of medicine, and we aren’t deterred by naysayers or skeptics.
We come from a variety of backgrounds ranging from machine learning to marketing—but regardless of where we come from, Unlearners share some common traits:
-
; we aren’t intimidated by big, challenging goals.
-
; we break down our big goals into smaller chunks and meet as often as necessary to track our velocity and iterate quickly.
-
; we never give up, setbacks just make us try harder.
-
; in fact, we hate being stuck with the status quo
-
; sharing information with each other and with the world is super important, too important to be boring. And, last but not least,
-
; we put the mission first, the company second, the team third, and individuals last.
