DiseaseBank
Mechanistic disease insights, genetic associations, novel targets, and biomarkers across 60+ chronic diseases.
Overview
DiseaseBank™, developed by PrecisionLife, is the world's largest repository of novel proprietary and predictive disease insights, purpose-built to deliver world-leading mechanistic understanding of chronic diseases. It is designed for life sciences organisations seeking to accelerate drug discovery, identify novel therapeutic targets, and develop precision medicine strategies for diseases with significant unmet medical needs.
Drawing on the analysis of data from more than 7 million patients across 60+ completed disease studies, DiseaseBank has uncovered over 400 novel targets and more than 100,000 clinical biomarkers. The platform's science is focused on generating the deepest insights in chronic disease biology, with the goal of driving precision medicine beyond oncology and rare disease into the broader landscape of complex chronic conditions.
