Lifebit, a global leader in genomics and health data software, announces its expansion into Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) with its new regional operation headquartered in Singapore. These R&D efforts in collaboration with Synapxe, Singapore’s national HealthTech agency, will serve to advance precision medicine initiatives across the APJ region. It will enable Lifebit to support vital precision medicine research in the region with its patented federated technology platform for genomics and biomedical data.
With the Lifebit Asia Pacific expansion, the company aims to enhance its impact on public health initiatives and research collaborations.
Dr Maria Dunford, CEO of Lifebit, said that this Lifebit Asia Pacific expansion marks a significant milestone for the company in its commitment to precision medicine:
“We are delighted to be expanding our operations with a new regional headquarters in Singapore. Our presence here presents a unique opportunity to support the diverse data needs of healthcare organisations, research institutes and pharma companies in the region.
We are currently implementing our genomic data analytics solution into TRUST to support broader precision medicine research in Singapore, and the wider APJ region.
We look forward to working in partnership with additional organisations who, like us, are pushing the boundaries to solve the most challenging problems in genomics and precision medicine.”
Andy Ta, Chief Data Officer and Director, Data Analytics & AI of Synapxe, said:
“Through our collaboration with Lifebit, we look forward to advancing the use of research and clinical insights using clinico-genomic data for precision medicine.

Singapore stands out as the most rapidly expanding market in Asia, backed by a robust governmental dedication to fostering precision medicine research and innovation through the utilisation of genomic and clinical data. The R&D centre established by Lifebit in Singapore will actively contribute to other recent collaborations within the APJ region. Furthermore, as one of the most diverse populations in the world with significant and sustained health challenges, this move into Singapore presents an important milestone for Lifebit.
Lifebit’s mission is to create a world where access to biomedical data will never again be an obstacle to curing diseases. Its expansion into APJ builds on the growth of Lifebit, with new partnerships announced in the USA, Central and South America, and Europe over the past 12 months.
Lifebit‘s entrance into the Asia Pacific and Japan regions marks a strategic advancement for the company. The expansion into Singapore, a diverse region with notable health challenges, represents a crucial milestone for Lifebit as it aims to eliminate barriers to curing diseases by enhancing access to biomedical data. This expansion in APJ complements Lifebit’s recent growth and partnerships established in the USA, Central and South America, and Europe within the last year.
