Questions about our customers
Who uses Lifebit’s Federated Trusted Research Environment?
National genomics programs, government agencies, pharma, oncology data providers, research universities and patient research networks. Customer stories on this page include Genomics England, the NIH National Library of Medicine, Boehringer Ingelheim, Synapxe in Singapore, Flatiron Health, CanPath, the Lupus Research Alliance and the University of Southampton.
Does customer data ever leave its source?
No. Analyses run inside each data owner’s own environment, and only governance-cleared, aggregate results leave through an airlock review. Each owner keeps control of access, approvals and audit trails.
Where does Lifebit run?
In the customer’s own cloud or sovereign environment. Examples on this page include Genomics England’s own cloud tenancy, Singapore’s government sovereign cloud for Synapxe, and Boehringer Ingelheim’s own IT environment.
Can I talk to a Lifebit customer?
Yes. Ask for a reference call in the form on this page and we will match you with a customer in your sector, where the customer agrees.
What results do customers see?
Results differ by use case. Some Boehringer Ingelheim target analyses dropped from months to 59 minutes. Flatiron Health runs research across more than 50 partner sites in the UK, Germany, and Japan on a TRE powered by Lifebit CloudOS. A Lancet Oncology study in the Genomics England Research Environment found treatment-relevant features in 27% of breast cancers.
How does Lifebit handle security and compliance?
Lifebit is ISO 27001 certified and runs deployments under GDPR, HIPAA and national rules such as Singapore’s PDPA. Details are in the Trust Center at lifebit.ai/trust-center/.
What is the difference between a Federated TRE and a data lake?
A data lake copies data into one central store. A Federated Trusted Research Environment leaves the data with each custodian and sends the analysis to it, so sensitive records never move.
