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:
- Noam's early years and how his upbringing shaped his high standards and competitive spirit which led him to excel in the world of academia
- His unique experience of starting university at the age of 14
- His early love for mathematics
- His pursuit of multiple PhDs in math and computer science
- The importance of resilience, critical thinking, and creativity needed as an entrepreneur
Please enjoy my conversation with Noam Solomon.
