Description

At Enable Medicine, our mission is to organize the world's biological data and make it searchable to generate profound new insights into health and disease. We are building the largest and most comprehensive atlas of human biology to index, interconnect and interrogate diverse data inputs from billions of cells and across thousands of patient data sets. On the Enable biological insight, operating and search (BIOS) platform, scientists use the computational power of generative AI to search these atlases and unlock answers to previously unanswerable questions. Together, we empower those bringing the next generation of diagnostics and therapeutics forward to deliver better patient outcomes.

We build and provide these capabilities to our network of leading academic institutions and pharmaceutical companies around the world. Our collaborative research spans numerous indications, with a core focus on unmet needs in oncology and autoimmune diseases. We advance science by accelerating data generation, methods development, research insights, and high-impact publications. Our interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, researchers, and investors focuses on decoding biological systems to make drug discovery, development, and patient care more deterministic. Come join us on our mission to decipher biology and meaningfully improve the way patients are treated.
