About the Lab

Applied AI for Pharma & Healthcare

PharmaTools.AI is an applied AI lab founded by Nick Lamb, PhD — exploring ways GenAI can make medical communication clearer, safer, and more human. Each experiment blends science, design, and language to show how people and AI can work together more effectively.

Nick's background in medical writing, creative technology, and AI research shapes the lab's approach — from prototypes like BiomarkerFinder to full tools like Patiently AI and MedCheckr®.
