By leveraging Lifebit’s patented federated technology platform for genomics and biomedical data, the partnership seeks to support vital precision medicine research in the region.

Driving Precision Medicine in Singapore and Beyond

With a diverse population facing significant health challenges, Singapore presents a crucial milestone for Lifebit’s mission.
