Welcome to HitchhikersAI
A non-profit impact community, accelerating the adoption of AI/ML and data in early drug discovery globally.
HitchhikersAI wants to fix the disconnect between AI/ML and data and their practical application in science by offering targeted non-profit consulting to biotech companies.
This involves helping them clearly define their research questions (killer questions) and designing customized project plans that integrate educational resources, computational tools, and curated data to effectively use AI/ML technologies in their research.
The HitchhikersAI community develops, deploys and uses fit-for-purpose enablement packages, with a collaboration-first ethos. The community is growing and currently consists of 250+ bench scientists, data scientists, mathematicians, business owners, executives, academics etc.
