Welcome to HitchhikersAI
A non-profit impact community, accelerating the adoption of AI/ML and data in early stage drug discovery.
HitchhikersAI aims to fix the disconnect between AI/ML and data and their practical application in early drug discovery by offering targeted non-profit consulting to biotech companies.
​
This involves helping scientists clearly define their research questions (killer questions) and designing customized plans that integrate educational resources, computational tools, and curated data to effectively use AI/ML technologies in their research.
​
The community is growing and currently consists of 250+ bench scientists, data scientists, mathematicians, business owners, executives, academics etc.
The HitchhikersAI Challenges Leaderboard
​
-
What is this Leaderboard? It is a living view of the top early drug discovery challenges that both scientists and industry leaders are interested in addressing with AL/ML and data.
-
What is its status? It is currently in early draft, as we approach biotechs and vendors for comment and refinement. But anybody can access and use it already.
-
How does it help create value for the industry? It allows i) scientists and biotechs to describe their biggest issues, where there is an interest getting help, and ii) industry vendors and data scientists to focus on those same problems.
-
Who funds the activities? HitchhikersAI is a grassroots community, where funding for projects will go directly to those doing the work. As we have a non-profit mission, all funding will be cost recovery with no licence fees charged. As projects on the Leaderboard are progressed, funding opportunities may appear - especially when significant customization is needed for a specific receiving organization.
