Part 2 of 4.
My guest for this week’s episode is Noam Solomon, CEO and co-founder at Immunai, a pioneering biotech company that is comprehensively mapping and reprogramming the immune system with single-cell biology and AI to power new therapeutic discoveries, accelerate drug development, and improve patient outcomes.
Prior to co-founding Immunai, Noam had a career in both industry and academia. Noam has a double PhD in math and computer science and served as a postdoctoral researcher at MIT and Harvard. Noam also worked as an algorithms developer, consultant, and head of data science in several high-tech companies in Israel. Noam's extensive background in math, computer science, AI, and machine learning gives him a unique depth of experience that founders can learn from.
Join us this week and hear about:
- The impact of attending prestigious institutions like Harvard and MIT on his career and networking opportunities
- The genesis of Immunai, inspired by personal experiences and focused on precision medicine in cancer treatment
- Explaining AI and Machine Learning, their distinctions, and the current state of AI in biology and drug development
- The complexity of the immune system and Immunai's ambitious goal to map it completely
- The convergence of technological advancements (single-cell technology, computing power, and AI models) that created the "perfect storm" for founding Immunai
Please enjoy my conversation with Noam Solomon.
