WHAT WE DO
Advocate for a transparent way of making medicine
Many times, medicine is pursued in an opaque way. Alternatively, when ideas are shared openly, solutions can arrive quicker, be more effective, and inspire even more ideas. Our mission is to empower this collaborative approach in medicine. We strongly believe doing so promises safer, more powerful, and equitable medicine becoming available to patients faster, especially for neglected and under-addressed diseases.
Accelerate the search for cures
We specialize in advanced computation-based techniques, such as simulation and artificial intelligence, that bolster the search for medicine. We maintain an online virtual lab to investigate how ideas for medicine might work in the human body to stop disease. Through this lab, we empower our collaborators - students, citizen scientists, and researchers - to develop new ideas, share them openly, and contribute to pursuing crowdsourced cures.
Build compassion leaders
The Hope Shared Foundation was established in 2014 to unite students with experiential learning through research authorship. We pioneered methods for making medical research accessible to non-specialists so that people everywhere can participate in helping find cures. Through our online virtual lab, our partners contribute to actual biomedical research, gain valuable career-building skills, and work in compassion, thereby becoming the compassion leaders that we desperately need.
We are proudly an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) not-for-profit
We are dedicated to making a future where safe and effective medicines are easily accessible to those who need them. We empower open-access, crowdsourced medical research while supporting students, citizen scientists, and researchers. We do all this without salaries and on a volunteer basis, ensuring that all the support we receive goes directly towards fulfilling our mission. We welcome you to join us in our efforts and become a part of sharing hope!
HOW WE DO OUR WORK
We start by partnering to provide students with actual biomedical research opportunities in which they build ideas for medicine. Students then explore how these ideas might work in the human body to stop disease using a virtual lab in the cloud. The results of the students' work are then shared freely via our data repository, tutorials, and research publications. We then work with medical researchers to advance these ideas towards medicines, providing hope for patients.
WHO WE COLLABORATE WITH
Students & Parents
Researchers & Patients
Researchers & Patients
We work with our partners to provide student-authored research apprenticeships to a select cohort of students. This builds resumes, teaches valuable skills, and inspires compassion.
Researchers & Patients
Researchers & Patients
Researchers & Patients
For researchers, access freely available computational data, tutorials, and research publications. For patients, share your story and help us advocate for new, better, and more equitable medicines.
Educators & Schools
