William Paseman | Founder
rarekidneycancer.org

Bill co-founded rarekidneycancer.org with Dr. James Hsieh in 2016 after being diagnosed with a meningioma and p1RCC (a rare kidney cancer) in 2014 . In 2018 and 2020, with Pete Kane, he brought together 17 teams of more than 80 researchers who used his medical data to determine “genes of interest” related to his disease. He applied ensemble reasoning to evaluate the results of these hackathons (which Bill calls “gamified tumor boards” ) to discover better ways to do cancer research. Bill has automated these “gamified tumor boards” using Large Language Models (LLMs).
