On a mission to enable researchers to do more high-impact research
How we got here
Manifold was founded in 2016 as an AI lab, at a time of remarkable research advances in AI. Machine learning was becoming more important, but we saw firsthand how hard it was to build a data and AI technology foundation for biomedical R&D. In 2022, we had a conviction about how to move us closer to a future of precision medicine by making it ten times faster and one-tenth the cost to generate knowledge, develop better treatments, and improve patient outcomes.
As the amount of biomedical data types and scale continues to grow, old ways of working with data hold back the pace of progress — fragmented data, overwhelming omics, complex manual work, analysis backlogs, friction in secure collaboration, and barriers to distributing workflows. Manifold is a health research infrastructure company that enables researchers to focus on the high-impact research that matters most, by taking care of all the other stuff that gets in the way.
