About

We are a global leader in building data networks for the life sciences industry, providing versatile technology platforms for personalized medicine and accelerating the translation of innovations into clinical practice. Our journey began in 1997, born from an MIT Whitehead project spinoff, and for over 25 years, we have cultivated a strong scientific heritage. This is underpinned by our close collaboration with a network of leading researchers, developers, and industry partners. Our core mission is to convert complex biological information and Real-World Data (RWD) into actionable insights. We strive to create a patient-centric link between the life sciences and healthcare sectors, ultimately personalizing care and revolutionizing drug development. We empower our clients to make more informed, data-driven decisions that accelerate the path to precision medicine and improved patient outcomes. Our innovative technology platform is the cornerstone of our work. It enables the secure management, analysis, and interpretation of genomic and clinical data on a global scale. We have developed a unique federated and AI-enabled solution architecture, including deep expertise in Trusted Research Environments (TREs), which allows for the harmonization of data from diverse biobanks and healthcare institutions. This makes valuable, research-ready, and regulatory-grade patient data accessible to pharmaceutical and biotech companies, all while upholding the highest standards of privacy and security, including GDPR compliance. Our Global Data Partner Network, BCRQUEST.com, is a testament to our commitment to collaboration, providing access to data from millions of subjects across numerous countries. We are a diverse and inclusive team, with 23 nationalities represented, operating from our headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland, and offices across the US, Europe, and Asia. We are passionate about harnessing the power of data to create a healthier future for everyone.
