Company description

nference is an agentic AI platform for healthcare research that serves as the intelligence layer for clinical research. The company partners with medical centers and healthcare systems to activate decades of real-world clinical data — much of it unstructured — captured in electronic medical records (EMRs), transforming it into powerful, research-ready solutions. nference enables scientists, clinicians, and life sciences organizations to discover and develop the next generation of personalized diagnostics and treatments for patients worldwide. Founded by Murali Aravamudan (CEO) and Venky Soundararajan, PhD (Chief Scientific Officer), nference is headquartered in Cambridge, MA, with additional offices in Bangalore, Toronto, and Rochester, MN.

At its core, nference believes the greatest opportunity to elevate human health lies in curating and synthesizing the world's biomedical data through multimodal AI. The platform connects healthcare partners through a federated AI network, optimizing clinical data management and enabling real-world data (RWD) to generate impactful insights. nference has established long-term partnerships with leading healthcare centers and life sciences companies, including collaborations with Valo Health, Avadel, and BeiGene.
