Is it possible to write a unittest script that does not close the browser on each test?

I am running on windows 10 with python 3.6.2 and selenium 3.11. I currently have a small unit test which works but on each new test it opens up a new browser. The first test is to login but when I move to the next test it starts a new browser therefore I cannot continue my unit testing. Below is my current code 

class LoginTest(unittest.TestCase):
logging.basicConfig(filename='test.log', level=logging.INFO,
                    format='%(asctime)s:%(levelname)s:%(lineno)d:%(message)s')

def setUp(self):
    logging.info('starting browser')
    self.driver = DriverFactory().run_browser()
    base_page = Page(self.driver)
    base_page.open("url")
    page_title = self.driver.title
    assert page_title == "title"
    logging.info('Login page title: ' + page_title)

def test_login(self):
    logging.info('Logging in')
    login_page = LoginPage(self.driver)
    login_page.username().send_keys("username")
    login_page.password().send_keys("password")
    login_page.sign_in().click()
    page_title = self.driver.title
    Page(self.driver).wait()
    assert page_title == "title"
    logging.info('Main page title: ' + page_title)

def test_search(self):
    logging.info("Search")
    main_page = MainMenu(self.driver)
    tab = main_page.Loans(self.driver)
    main_page.tab_search('Foo')
    main_page.switchTo_left_frame()
    tab.search().send_keys('bar')
    tab.top_result()
    page_title = self.driver.title
    logging.info("Loan Page Title: " + page_title)

def tearDown(self):
    self.driver.quit()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    unittest.main()

This script will login then close that browser and start a new one and try to complete the search test which fails. I am unable to use url navigation due to the security of the webpage. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Instead of using setUp you could use setUpClass which will only be ran once in the unit test framework.
