With amazing collaborators, we're among the first to explore LLM and multimodal GenAI in precision health. PubMedBERT has been cited for 2,000+ times arxiv.org/abs/2007.15779, with over 10MM downloads huggingface.co/microsoft/Bi.... We're psyched to see the interest of the community.

With the GenAI revolution, there is now an unprecedented opportunity to a) accelerate biomedical discovery so that we can drastically improve the quality of healthcare, and b) drastically reduce healthcare cost so that we can democratize high-quality healthcare for EVERYONE.
