How Do You Transition From Academic to Industry?

Today's guest is Charles Fisher, Founder & CEO at Unlearn.AI in San Francisco. Founded in 2017, Unlearn.AI helps biopharma companies develop drugs more ethically and efficiently by leveraging generative machine learning models to reduce the number of patients required for placebo controls in clinical trials. They enable clinical trials that are twice as fast, require fewer patients, produce better evidence about therapeutic efficacy, and in which fewer patients need to be given placebos.
