OWKIN is an AI startup that uses machine learning to augment medical and biology research. Our proprietary platform, OWKIN Socrates, uses machine learning technology to integrate biomedical images, genomics and clinical data to discover biomarkers and mechanisms associated with diseases and treatment outcomes.
Our team is international, multidisciplinary with incredible talent in machine learning, medicine and business. Our data scientists are among the best in the world, with several Kaggle Masters (top global 100), a DREAM Challenge top performer, and publications in ICML, NIPS and other top scientific journals.
OWKIN develops scientific collaborations with top-tier medical institutions such as Mount Sinai, Inserm, Institut Curie and the Léon Bérard Center, and partners with leading pharmaceutical companies, including Amgen, Roche, and Ipsen.
OWKIN has developed a state-of-the-art federated learning technology in healthcare to overcome the data sharing problem, building collective intelligence from distributed data at scale while preserving data privacy and security.
