Unlearn
Discover how Unlearn uses AI to create digital twins of clinical trial participants, streamlining clinical development and enabling confident decision-making.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 leverageĀ generative AI in forecasting patient outcomes, starting with the domain ofĀ clinical trials. We produce AI-generated digital twins of individual trialĀ participants, enabling smaller and more efficient clinical trials to bring effectiveĀ medicines to patients sooner.
Our innovative work in AI today will reinvent how AI is applied in medicine tomorrow ā and we have a top secret plan for how to get there. We wonāt 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 donāt discover or make drugs. We believe that AI will define the future of medicine, and we arenāt deterred by naysayers or skeptics.Ā
We come from a variety of backgrounds ranging from machine learning to marketingābut regardless of where we come from, Unlearners share some common traits:
Unlearners are ambitious; we arenāt intimidated by big, challenging goals.Ā
Unlearners are disciplined experimenters; we break down our big goals into smaller chunks and meet as often as necessary to track our velocity and iterate quickly.Ā
Unlearners are gritty; we never give up, setbacks just make us try harder.
Unlearners are receptive to new ideas; in fact, we hate being stuck with the status quo
Unlearners are storytellers; sharing information with each other and with the world is super important, too important to be boring.Ā And, last but not least,
Unlearners are team-oriented; we put the mission first, the company second, the team third, and individuals last.
Headquartered in San Francisco, Unlearn was founded in 2017 by a team of world-class machine learning scientists.Ā We have raised venture capital from top tier investors such as Altimeter, Insight Partners, Radical Ventures, 8VC, DCVC, and DCVC Bio, and recently completed our $50 million Series C in January 2024.
If our purpose and culture resonate with you, we invite you to apply.
Applied ML Scientists lead Unlearnās work to develop state-of-the-art ML approaches for generating Digital Twins ā probabilistic models of a patientās future health outcomes given knowledge of their current and past medical history. Applied ML Scientists at Unlearn come from a wide range of disciplines, and have honed their ML expertise through their previous experience conducting novel and impactful research at top academic and industrial labs or their previous work delivering ML and data-science products in highly ambiguous and challenging commercial settings. Successful Applied ML Scientists at Unlearn are entrepreneurial in their approach; feeling a strong sense of end-to-end ownership of their mission, they investigate broadly to find the right tools and techniques to help their teams succeed. They are also highly determined individuals, powering through problems with cleverness and resolve.
Responsibilities include:
Design and implement machine learning models to characterize and predict disease progression.
Apply and fine-tune proprietary architectures to real-world clinical data.
Clearly communicate technical findings and results to internal and external stakeholders.
